After millions of votes were cast, the winner of Kraft Hockeyville 2024 was Elliot Lake, Ontario.

The community, which is two hours west of Sudbury, will receive $250,000 for arena upgrades, the opportunity to host an NHL pre-season game, and $10,000 worth of youth hockey equipment.

The closure of their Centennial Arena following significant structural issues with the roof has impacted the city’s recreational and competitive hockey leagues, forcing them to relocate. This has not only impacted the city financially but has affected the mental health and well-being of the children in the community.

The remaining three community finalists, which includes Wolseley, Saskatchewan, will be awarded $25,000 each for arena upgrades, along with $10,000 worth of youth hockey equipment.
