Beyond their on-ice achievements, the U13 AA Aurora Tigers prioritize community engagement and volunteerism. This commitment to giving back is evident through their active involvement in Aurora Headstart Hockey—a partnership between the Town of Aurora and the Aurora Minor Hockey Association.

The Aurora Headstart Hockey program introduces newcomers to the sport in a fun, inclusive, and affordable way. It’s an 8-week pre-hockey and learn-to-play program supported by volunteers, including the U13 AA Tigers players, who assist on the ice each week.

To make hockey accessible to all, the program provides donated equipment for participants in need. In 2025, the program welcomed 28 participants, 13 of whom were fully outfitted with donated gear. This initiative reflects Aurora’s dedication to inclusivity and growing the sport by breaking down barriers to participation.

Aurora’s rich hockey tradition, exceptional facilities, and strong community spirit make it an outstanding host for this year’s championship. Whether you’re here to play, coach, or cheer from the stands, Aurora promises an unforgettable experience. Together, let’s celebrate the future of hockey and the incredible athletes who call this community home.
