The Northumberland Street Hockey Festival has been a cherished tradition since its inception in 2006.
Over the years, this charity event has raised over $50,000 for medical equipment at the Northumberland Hills Hospital (NHH), embodying the spirit of community support and generosity.
“Drawing on Cobourg’s rich hockey heritage, we are leveraging our community’s love for hockey to strengthen our hospital’s medical resources. Every contribution, big or small, helps pave the way for a brighter future. We welcome participants to join us in a collective effort of giving back and making a lasting impact on our community,” Megan Fluxgold, Community Engagement & Events Specialist.

Open to players 6 to 18 and up, the Northumberland Street Hockey Festival invites participants to showcase their skills in a co-ed tournament featuring divisions based on age groups. Safety is paramount, and all players are required to wear proper equipment, including helmet and gloves.
