How it started
Why we are doing this
Alex
The Hockey Community was humbly founded in 2010 by 3 roommates, Alex, Martine and Daniel.

As an engineer and entrepreneur student in France. Alex came to Vancouver for an 8 month internship. While in Vancouver he rekindled his passion for hockey, a game he had played as a child. The search for places to play hockey in Vancouver began, but only outdated websites and incorrect pdf hockey schedules were found. Why was it so hard to find players, drop-in games and hockey skills classes in Vancouver? After a few discussions, he found he was not the only one who couldn't enjoy his passion due to a lack of information.

The goal is to make hockey more accessible.

From that day on Alex had an idea and vowed to make hockey more easily accessible for everyone! His roomates Daniel (civil engineer) and Martine (Retail Manager) who shared this passion, put their careers on hold, to make it happen. With their engineering minds, they taught themselves the technology needed to execute their project. With the help of great people from the hockey community, they developed The Hockey Community.
