Charity Support

Giving Back

Throughout the year, the Tokyo Canadians Hockey Club hold various fundraising functions, and donate a portion of the proceeds to charity.

In recent years, the team has made donations to Seeing is Believing, the YMCA Foreign Community Supporting Commitee, the Tokyo International Learning Center, and to Father Joe's Human Development Centre in Bangkok, Thailand.

Each fall, the team participates in the Terry Fox Run in Tokyo and help raise funds for cancer research.

We hope to continue our support of these worthy institutions and possibly add others to the list in years to come.

The team takes this role seriously and take pride in being to help out whenever possible, and provide support to organizations who help others.
