TORONTO, ONT. – Girls hockey continues to be on display in Toronto with the inaugural Cammi Granato Showcase Series presented by FlipGive set to drop the puck on August 27^th at Canlan Sports York. Featuring 45 girls’ hockey teams from across Ontario in divisions from U11 to U18, the Toronto edition of the Showcase series is all about the experience for players on, and off the ice.

“I have two young kids who play travel hockey, so our family knows firsthand just what it costs to suit up every season,” said Mark Bachman, FlipGive co-founder and CEO. “If we are going to continue growing our game and ensure girls have every opportunity to compete at the highest level, it is imperative that we keep innovating and finding new ways for parents and families to raise the money they need to keep their daughters on the ice. By partnering with two leaders in girls hockey, Cammi Granato and Canlan Sports, we hope to advance our mission of having no family choose between their budget and keeping their daughter in sports.”
