Hocky Challenge

Overview

The Hockey Challenge is a fun and engaging competition designed to promote athletic skill, sportsmanship, and community involvement among youth. Participants demonstrate their hockey shooting accuracy while competing within their age divisions.

Councils across Wisconsin are encouraged to host local competitions, providing young people an opportunity to participate regardless of skill level or access to ice facilities. While the program originates from the Knights of Columbus Supreme Council, the Wisconsin State Council adapts the program to maximize local participation and accessibility.
