Skate 48 Hockey Challenge in Support of Local Children's Charities

An annual hockey event to raise money for children's charities within the Waterloo Region.

February 9, 2019 - join us for a day of family fun and intense hockey showdowns at the Kitchener Memorial Auditorium Complex.
About Skate 48

Skate 48 has a long standing tradition of fun hockey, a boisterous post-game meal, prizes, spirited conversation and bragging rights for the remainder of the year. Above all, over $2.5 million has been raised for local children's charities since its inception in 1990.

Challenge a rival team to a one game hockey duel and you'll enjoy both the competition on the ice, as well as the satisfaction of knowing your helping make a difference in people's lives. The winners dine on fine food, while the losers will have to be contended eating hot dogs. Either way you’ll have a blast and a good laugh at the licensed post game party.

Last year 60 teams and 700 players joined us for a day of family fun and hockey at the Kitchener Memorial Auditorium. Get in on the action! Register now by clicking the "Register a Team or Player" button on this page.

There are great prizes for players that reach fundraising levels of $300, $500 and $1000, plus we will later host a “Top 50 Party” for the top fundraisers featuring a special guest for a talk and autographs. While at Skate 48, you will also be able to purchase pro sports memorabilia at a discounted price.
