2025 Kånken Youth Retention Award

Is your ice hockey club successfully recruiting, educating, and keeping young boys and girls in your development program?

Apply for the 2025 Kånken Youth Retention Award for the chance to win €10 000.

The Alliance of European Hockey Clubs, together with our partner Fjällräven, will for the fifth year, reward a youth hockey club in Europe with €10 000 for their work in developing and retaining young ice hockey players, boys and girls.

With the Kånken Youth Retention Award, the E.H.C. Alliance and Fjällräven wish to contribute to growth within European youth hockey, focusing on retaining young players in their program. Our contribution of €10 000 is meant to be a reward and encouragement for a club that focuses on youth development.

The club applying for the award must be in Europe, and the club’s program must be specifically focused on youth development.

The 2025 Kånken Youth Retention Award application period starts on the 31th of January and runs to the 30th of March, the deadline for this year’s application period.

The winning club will be presented with the Kånken Youth Retention Award at the 2025 Fenix Outdoor European Hockey Awards at Hotel Stages in Prague on the 11th of June.
