Welcome to PuckReady
We're excited to officially launch PuckReady ā Manitoba's complete guide to hockey development programs, tournaments, and resources.
Why We Built PuckReady
As hockey parents ourselves, we know the struggle. Every spring, you're searching through Facebook groups, asking other parents at the rink, and scrolling through dozens of websites trying to answer the same questions:
- Where should my kid skate this summer?
- What tournaments are available for our team?
- Is there a power skating program near us?
- What's the pathway from house league to AAA?
The information is out there ā but it's scattered, outdated, and hard to compare. That's the problem PuckReady solves.
What You'll Find Here
š 50+ Hockey Programs
From summer camps to year-round academies, we've gathered every development opportunity in Manitoba. Filter by type, location, age group, and skill level to find the right fit.
š Tournament Listings
Spring and summer tournaments across the province. See dates, age groups, entry fees, and contact information all in one place.
āļø Ice Exchange
A first-of-its-kind marketplace where organizers can buy, sell, and trade ice time. No more losing money on cancelled slots or scrambling to find last-minute practice ice.
š Development Resources
Understanding the hockey landscape ā from house league to AAA, high school to NCAA ā can be confusing. We break it down with clear guides and pathways.
Our Commitment
PuckReady is 100% free for families. We believe every Manitoba hockey parent deserves access to the same information, regardless of their budget or connections.
