Fundraisers
Polar Bear Hockey has five major fundraisers. These fundraisers help to support our organization in many ways, including keeping our club's registration fees reduced and allowing us to provide gear at no cost to our players.
Christmas Wreaths
We sell wreaths of various sizes and shapes, as well as garland and select pine bough decor. Wreath fundraiser forms will be available on equipment handout dates or through any board member. Wreath sales begin and end in October; the wreaths are typically ready for pickup towards the end of November. *NOTE: 20% of your wreath sales total is credited towards your registration fees.
Each Polar Bear Hockey family is required to sell 5 (five) wreaths.
Gun Raffle Tickets
This fundraiser is 10-weeks long with a gun prize drawing done weekly on Saturdays after the New Year. Ticket sales begin in October and run through January 1, 2024. Each ticket is $40, and includes two entries into each of the 10 drawings. This means 20 chances to win! *NOTE: $40 will be charged for each of the 5 required tickets not sold. For any additional tickets sold beyond the required 5, a $1 credit will be applied towards your registration fees.

Golf Outing
This annual summer event takes place at the Gogebic Country Club. This year the outing was held on Saturday August 17, 2024. We had great participation and we want to thank everyone who helped to sponsor or participate.
Polar Bear Hockey families may use this event to earn volunteer points towards the upcoming hockey season.
Seroogy Candy Bars
These delicious chocolate bars are sold all year long, and are available through any board member. Each box has 48 bars ($96.00) Each candy bar sold is a 50% profit.
While not mandatory, any Polar Bear Hockey family can choose to sell these to increase their fundraising credit.
Please remember that fundraising is needed to keep our registration costs down, so please participate whenever possible. Learn to Skate and 6U (Learn to Play) are not required to participate in any of these fundraisers, but are welcome to if they choose. If your family's fundraising credit is ½ or more of your total registration fee, your fee will be discounted 20% and then your fundraising credit will be deducted from that figure to determine your remaining amount due (many players are able to pay most of their registration fee with fundraising credit).
