What is FHL Society?

FHL Society (Football Hockey Link) is a Calgary-based non-profit organization dedicated to helping culturally diverse and newcomer children integrate into Canadian society through sport.

We provide no-cost football and hockey programming that introduces children ages 6–18 to two of Canada’s most celebrated sports — while building confidence, friendships, and community connection.

Through structured camps, mentorship, and ongoing support, families are guided in connecting to local community leagues so their children can continue their athletic journey long after our programs end.

A Word

From One of our Families

After moving to Canada from India nine years ago, Mona found FHL in 2018.

She says the program has been a wonderful support for her family. By providing equipment and access to sports at no cost, FHL makes it possible for children to participate without financial pressure.

Amber believes learning to skate and play winter sports helps children feel like they truly belong in Canada.

Her hope is that FHL continues expanding so more families can experience the same opportunity.
