November 2025

Emerald City Ball Hockey partnership with Hawthorne Elementary

Emerald City Ball Hockey is thrilled to announce our newest school partnership with Hawthorne Elementary in Everett, WA! Starting this January, we'll be bringing our exciting six-week afterschool Ball Hockey program to Hawthorne students. Classes will run Monday's from 3:00–4:00 PM, giving a new set of kids (grades 2-5) the chance to learn the fundamentals of hockey in a fun, safe, and active environment. This is our first program in the Greater Everett area, home to the Western Hockey League's Everett Silvertips.

This particular partnership is made possible thanks to the incredible support from the One Roof Foundation and the Seattle Kraken, whose generous grant funding to certain Title-1 schools helps us continue expanding access to youth ball hockey across the Greater Seattle area. Allowing Emerald City Ball Hockey to give access to this great sport to all students. Their commitment to growing the game and supporting local communities allows us to make a positive impact—one school at a time.

We can't wait to introduce Hawthorne students to the fast-paced fun of ball hockey, where they'll build teamwork, confidence, and a love for the game!
