Noah Dobson’s HockeyFest is returning to Credit Union Place in Summerside, P.E.I., from June 19 to 21, 2026, with registration now open and proceeds again going to Community Connections Inc. The street hockey event will include a Community Connections division, along with games for under-7 players through adult co-ed, plus corporate and Special Olympics divisions.

Community Connections Inc. supports more than 150 clients with intellectual disabilities in the East Prince region. The non-profit provides employment, residential and support services, and has been the festival’s charitable partner since the event began.

The tournament has grown quickly in a few short years. It started with 25 teams in its first year, then grew to 52 teams in Year 2, 102 teams in Year 3 and 144 teams in 2025.

That 2025 turnout made it the world’s largest HockeyFest under the brand, according to the City of Summerside. The event listing is also available through Sport PEI.
