Like most, I spent time during Covid reflecting. Those reflections transformed into a 📖 book, releasing in Oct. OVER THE BOARDS: LESSONS FROM THE ICE is a collection of hard-won lessons I learned from my career. Check it out at https://t.co/gRX3NZa2tJ @PenguinCanada
Heartbroken by the tragic events in Wainwright. My thoughts are with the CAF members, their families, and everyone injured or affected by this devastating incident. Deep gratitude and respect to the first responders and medical teams working tirelessly to help. 🇨🇦❤️🙏
Athletes don’t step onto the ice for a gold medal game and try to figure out how to handle the pressure in the moment. Doctors and nurses don’t enter a high-stake emergency room without years of practicing life-saving skills.
The same is true for members of our Canadian Armed Forces and First Responders. For those who are exposed to traumatic events as part of their duties, trauma isn’t hypothetical, it’s part of the job. Success is measured in lives saved and families whose loved ones live to see another day. For the programs we deliver nationally, resiliency is taught as a capability that can be understood, practiced, and strengthened. It should not be seen as a quality people either possess or acquire solely through hardship.
We are proud to announce a new collaboration with four-time Olympic Gold Medalist and ER Physician, Dr. Hayley Wickenheiser, who shares a fundamental truth for all Trauma Exposed Professionals:
Resiliency is not something you have. It’s something you do.
Watch and share this important message. 🇨🇦
Congrats to @CanadianTire who have achieved equal funding across men's and women's sports. Proud to call them a partner for @wickfest for 17 years. 'We'll make a fan out of you' is their next bold move.
There were a lot of Gamechangers in the house tonight @HockeyHallFame! Minister of Sport @vankayak, @cameronlizotte-hockey player turned fashion designer, Star singer Kaiya Gamble and Hockey game changer Sarah Thompson! Each carving their own unique paths-connected by sport!
There was a time when women weren't welcome in the HHOF. Tonight WickFest kicked off its opening party with hockey legends- the first female inducted Angela James and the most recent @JenBotterill in the house! If you can see it you can be it!
Tomorrow. 👀🏒
The wait is almost over.
The teams are on their way, the Opening Party is ready, and Milton is about to be buzzing with hockey, special guests, skills sessions, partner experiences and four days of WickFest energy. @canadiantire WickFest 2026 starts tomorrow!
I LOVE cycling! Today I finally got a chance to see Carson Mattern and @CyclingCanada training at the Milton Velodrome. Awesome facility, and they are looking fast!
Good luck to Carson and all of Team Canada at the upcoming World Champs and Olympic Qualifiers in Shanghai!

🇨🇦 Canada’s women’s volleyball team has punched its ticket to @LA28! 💪🏐
A four-set win over the Dominican Republic at the NORCECA Olympic Qualifier clinched Canada’s Olympic berth in women’s volleyball for the first time since Atlanta 1996. https://t.co/Hd6JKX81rs
