Amazon Expands Partnership with NHLPA

Amazon Canada and the National Hockey League Players’ Association (NHLPA) today announced an expansion of their ongoing partnership, with Amazon committing more than $1 million CAD to local community organizations in 32 North American cities during the 2026–2027 hockey season.

The partnership reflects Amazon’s broader commitment to supporting the communities it serves, and where its employees live and work. Since launching in 2024, the partnership with the NHLPA has focused on delivering local impact by working closely with players and community organizations across Canada and, more recently, the United States.

As the first event of the expanded partnership, Amazon and the NHLPA are kicking off in Ottawa, where three local organizations with connections to NHLPA Goals & Dreams will each receive a $25,000 CAD donation to support their work making hockey more accessible and inclusive: Ottawa Power Wheelchair Hockey LeagueCanadian Blind Hockey Association, and Next Shift Canada.

Through the 2025–2026 NHL season, the partnership delivered more than $60,000 CAD in donations in Canada and more than $230,000 USD in the U.S., with organizations already seeing the impact–from expanding facilities to increasing access to critical community programs.

As part of the expanded partnership, NHL players will visit Amazon facilities in all 32 cities throughout the 2026–2027 NHL season, connecting with employees and presenting donations to local organizations making a meaningful impact in their communities.
