Our Bleu Blanc Bouge rinks

The construction and donation of our rinks aim to promote healthy lifestyles through physical activity among youth in the communities where they are built. They address the need for quality sports infrastructure in underserved areas and support the efforts of local organizations. Each rink becomes an active, inclusive gathering place, safe and accessible to all, contributing to the vitality of communities and the well-being of young people and their families.

High-quality multisports facilities, accessible all year round

Built according to NHL standards, the infrastructure provides the necessary versatility to enjoy other sports according to the time of year. Predominantly used for skating and hockey from November to mid-March, the rinks become an ideal playground for disciplines such as ball hockey, basketball, soccer, pickleball or introducing kids to riding a bike during the spring, summer and fall months. The Foundation also contributes to the creation of an equipment bank for those who can't afford it by offering 100 pairs of skates, 100 helmets and 100 hockey sticks as part of the infrastructure donation.

The infrastructures built since 2019 are distinguished by the use of a new energy efficient refrigeration system powered by CO2 and by their universally accessible facilities for the practice of sledge hockey.
