hockey is for everyone

The Oakland Bears Hockey Foundation (OBHF) Board is committed to working together, leveraging their professional networks and closely aligning with the goals of the Oakland Bears Hockey Club (OBHC), to make hockey accessible for all youth in Oakland.

A group of OBHC parents saw an unfulfilled need to offer financial support to youth players with limited economic resources for sports. In 2020, OBHF expanded its mission to include increasing youth participation in hockey throughout Alameda County.

We support and grow the sport of hockey throughout the Oakland area.  We believe hockey is for everyone, economic factors should not prohibit youth involvement in hockey and that the sport fosters important life skills in youth of any age.
