Who Are We? COTHPA.

The Calgary Old Time Hockey Player Association (COTHPA) was founded on August 24th, 1954 to primarily help ex hockey players, no longer capable of making a living playing the game, or those retired whom may be in need for financial of medical assistance.

This mandate was continued for a number of years until present day salaries, insurance plans and current NHL retired player benefits made our mandate out of date.

NEW MANDATE

The new mandate provides financial assistance to male and female athletes attending the University of Calgary, Mount Royal University and the Southern Alberta Institute of Technology, and other institutions, who are playing on the Varsity hockey teams, and maintaining a high Academic GPA.

In addition to scholarly athletes, the COTHPA contributions list has expanded to much more than the initial scope, and now supports not only the original concepts but also many other varied persons, or groups in need.
