Thank you South Windsor Youth Hockey for supporting The Salvation Army's 2025 Bell Ringing Campaign. Over the two Saturdays (December 6th and 13th) we helped raise over $1,700 to support the Hartford Area Services division of The Salvation Army. Even more spectacular is the amount raised on the second day (December 13th) where we helped raise $933! This logs in as the highest amount collected in a single day by any of the Bell Ringing locations, just a great testament how our support really makes a difference!
Thanks again for all the support and hope you and your families have a great Christmas and Holiday season!
SWYHA Supports The Salvation Army 2025 Bell Ringing Campaign
The South Windsor Youth Hockey Association will again participate in The Salvation Army Hartford Area Services Red Kettle campaign.
The Red Kettle initiative is The Salvation Army’s annual fundraising event to support those in need during the holiday season. Over the past 130+ years, The Salvation Army has been ‘ringing bells’ to raise funds for their programs. These programs help families stay warm during the winter, be given a nutrient rich meal, provided clothing and many other life skills and benefits. By our organization lending a helping hand to Ring Bells, we can help provide some of these benefits for those less fortunate. On average, ringing the bell for just one hour raises enough money to provide 13 meals. Volunteer bell ringers like us also raise $30 more per hour than sites without volunteers. Last year, we collected over $1,400 over the two days, as comparison, a very good location may only take in $200-$400 per day!

Team Up Against Concussion Week:
USA Hockey and the Concussion Legacy Foundation have teamed up to raise concussion awareness and strengthen team bonds through Team Up Against Concussions (TUAC).
TUAC is a simple speech designed to be given by a team leader before each season. The core message: teammates are responsible for speaking up to a team leader if they notice concussion signs in a teammate.
USA Hockey's Team Up Against Concussions Week is scheduled for October 24-28, 2022. Throughout the week, USA Hockey will share videos of Team USA players from all over the country giving the TUAC speech to their teams.
