It is time to share positive stories around hockey. The Recent Future of Hockey Forum offered so many!
The FHL Cohort worked tirelessly with open minds, hearts and lived experiences to develop innovative ways to accelerate change for girls, women and gender diverse people.🔥
It’s official! Hockey Indigenous becomes certified and essentially the voice for local to International development for Indigenous athletes, communities, and teams.👏
Huge congratulations to our 2023 Fellows Abigail and Stephane with Hockey Indigenous for this achievement!
“The mindset that I approach my coaching with is that I want to get better, I want to develop, and I want to challenge myself as much as possible so that when those opportunities do come up, I’m ready to take them on and I’m ready to contribute.”
Women have been hired as scouts, video coaches and assistant general managers in the NHL but the league has yet to see its first female coach.
Kori Cheverie has been a trailblazer in hockey before. Perhaps one day she will reach that lofty summit. https://t.co/iznWRqoX5e
