SSSS is a program that targets female athletes currently participating in hockey and introduces them to golf at community hockey tournaments across Ontario.
The program, which began this past fall, will visit 20 tournaments across the province during the 2014/15 hockey season and will expose more than 6300 girls to the game of golf.
The program represents a partnership between the GAO and the Ontario Women’s Hockey Association that is made possible by the Ontario Sport and Recreation Communities Fund. The partnership between the two complementary sports will provide opportunities for these girls and their teammates to participate in sport all year round.
