Youth ages six to 12 from the Neighbourhood Centre’s Nook program will be present for the announcement, followed by ball hockey and combine testing hosted by Toronto Maple Leafs hockey development coaches in celebration of We Nook, We Shoot, We Score’s launch.

The Toronto Maple Leafs Community Action Grant along with the Toronto Raptors and Toronto FC Community Action Grants are three $50,000 sport-specific prizes presented by the Just Energy Foundation that MLSE Foundation will award to non-profit organizations supporting youth sports programming in Toronto each year. Eligible non-profits can apply for grants at mlsefoundation.org, where submissions are reviewed by a selection committee before a winner is chosen and announced at a special event in their community.
