We all need somebody to lean on.
That’s why players from across the league came together to lend their voices and spread the word on World Mental Health Day. You can join in too and be a part of the movement— tag a friend, and remind someone we’re all here for them.

Shoulder Check x Wolfpack — What a night! 🐺 Kicked off the new year with an incredible crew, powerful conversations, and a whole lot of heart. Nothing beats sharing the Shoulder Check message with the Wolfpack family—on the ice and in the stands. 2026, we’re coming in
BU vs. Bentley 🏒 Big energy, big moments, and plenty of Shoulder Check moments on the ice. Love seeing the team bring the mission to the game! Thanks for helping us spread the message: Reach Out. Check In. Make Contact. Tell us: What does Shoulder Check mean to you?
What does caring look like on a college team? 🤝 Sometimes it’s a simple “How are you doing?” or a joke that lifts the mood before a big game. Sometimes it’s making sure your teammates are fed, seen, and celebrated—not just as athletes, but as people first. We sat down with BU
It's Mental Health Awareness Night tonight for the @NHLBruins 💚

This is what the #ShoulderCheck is all about. Reach Out. Check In. Make Contact. It’s time to turn kindness into a contact sport. Head to https://t.co/a3fn54M0T8 to get involved!
Shoulder Check is underway and we need your help to make kindness a contact sport! Make your commitment by signing the blue shoulder and tagging your friends to get them involved, too at https://t.co/a3fn54M0T8
This is how we #ShoulderCheck! Back with another Monday reminder to reach out, check in, and make contact with someone in your life. Making contact is as simple as a hand on the shoulder, or a text message to show kindness from a distance.
As fall season approaches, it’s time for pre-season preparation. Start by printing a Shoulder Check commitment poster and placing it in the locker room and hallways to remind your team to make kindness a contact sport. Head to https://t.co/a3fn54M0T8 to Get Involved.
You just never know what someone is going through or when they might need a hand. Here's a few great stories of what it means to Check In. Please join in on the movement, creating your own Shoulder Check moments with your groups and teams and share them with us!
Repping the Shoulder Check at Assumption University! We are grateful for the Assumption team taking up the banner and dedicating their annual charity game to the Shoulder Check. See how you can bring Shoulder Check to your team today at https://t.co/a3fn54M0T8
This was great. Shoulder Check had the chance to come out to Ebersole Ice Rink to link up with and White Plains HS for their big tilt. Thanks to both their coaches and every player across both teams, who got together before puck-drop to share the Shoulder Check message!
