Pucks for Purpose is a student-run non-profit at St. Francis Xavier University that brings the campus and community together through the power of hockey. Over the past two years, we've raised more than $185,000 through our annual charity rivalry games, where Business and Arts/Science students face off in front of sold-out crowds.
In 2025, we proudly introduced a Women's game, doubled down on our mission, and raised $130,000 for the Canadian Cancer Society and motionball for Special Olympics.
Entering its third year, Pucks for Purpose continues to grow as one of the most impactful student-led charity initiatives in the country.
