Hockey Kids Hits by HST

Ontario NDP leader Andrea Horwath says a harmonized sales tax will penalize hockey kids across the province.

Horwath says the HST will add eight per cent more to the cost of renting ice time for teams.

The NDP says currently more than 250,000 young people participate in organized hockey leagues in Ontario, but many more can't afford to play.
