The Tim’s Kids program is a heartwarming effort to get kids involved in hockey while keeping the memory of a hockey great alive. It demonstrates the true spirit of the Grow The Game Initiative.
The Tim’s Kids Program at the Space Coast Iceplex in Rockledge, Fla. provides up to 20 children between the ages of 4 and 8, the opportunity to try hockey for the first time at no expense to their families.
Tim’s Kids is the dream of the late Tim Szymula, who volunteered so much of his time to Brevard Amateur Ice Hockey Association (BAIHA). Even with his passing, his giving did not stop. He directed a portion of his life insurance to be used to start up the program.
The organization lends the child all the necessary equipment, provides jerseys, and covers the ice rental costs for one “house league” session. This session consists of a one-hour orientation, followed by 10 weeks of one-hour cross-ice games to be played on consecutive Friday evenings from 6-7 pm.
“We hope Tim’s commitment will help us to inspire new generations of Brevard youth to become a long-term part of our hockey family,” says Gary O’Neil, the President of the BAIHA.
