The Greenfield High School cooperative hockey team will be holding its annual Fill-A-Skate fundraising drive on Friday, Nov. 29 from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m.

The fundraiser will take place at the intersection of Main and Federal Streets in Greenfield. 

The Greenfield hockey co-op is primarily a self-funded team consisting of student athletes from most of the high schools in Franklin County. The Greenfield Public School system does not charge a player fee and as a policy does not allow a student athlete to pay any sort of fee to participate in any sport. That allows all students to participate in any sport regardless of economic circumstances.

The Fill-A-Skate fundraiser is very important to the viability of this program. The team asks that the public come out and support the student athletes. The public’s support is greatly appreciated.

FCHA programs

Registration is open for Learn to Skate and Learn to Play Hockey programs, offered by the Franklin County Hockey Association. 

The programs are free to all that sign up, made possible by the FCHA’s partnership with Gagne Wealth Management Group. FCHA can also provide all the equipment needed at no cost to the player.

Learn to skate program starts Dec, 7 at 11 a.m., and will run every Saturday through March 1, 2025.
