| All youth foundtaion players are required to purchase/sell five Griffins tickets per season. In order to hold a jersey auction fundraiser we need to sell 500 tickets for the Jan. 21 game, for which we currently have close to 500 upper bowl ($10) tickets. Talk with your friends, family and co-workers to see how many tickets you can sell; the larger the group, the better. Please see Jackie or Lynn at the information table to purchase your tickets. Thanks. |
The application process for this season is closed. Please visit this site beginning April 2012 to find the application information for the 2012-13 season.

GRIFFINS YOUTH FOUNDATION PROGRAMMING
All programs are FREE. Equipment and ice time are provided by the GRGYF.
OLYMPIC DIVISION
Hockey instruction and games for first, second and third grade children.
ADAMS DIVISION
Hockey instruction and games for fourth, fifth and sixth grade children.
NORRIS DIVISION
Hockey instruction and games for seventh, eighth and ninth grade children.
GIRLS HOCKEY
This instructional hockey program is made up of area girls in grades 6-10 and consists of an all-female coaching staff.
SLED HOCKEY
Hockey instruction for physically challenged youth. Sled hockey rules are virtually identical to traditional hockey, except participants are on bladed sleds.
The Grand Rapids Sled Wings, a team of physically challenged teenagers, are sponsored by the foundation in partnership with Mary Free Bed Rehabiliation Hospital. They began the first junior-level sled hockey team in Michigan upon their founding in 2001.
OPEN-SKATING PROGRAMS
In addition to hockey programming we also offer ice skating opportunities, including holiday lunch skates and Special Olympics speed skating.
ROSA PARKS CIRCLE
We also provide all the skates for Rosa Parks Circle Ice Rink, the downtown outdoor ice rink that draws over 20,000 visitors per year.
All skating and hockey programs are held at Griff's IceHouse at Belknap Park.
