Prominent BIPOC Figures in the Hockey Community have come together to create an environment of inspiration and education through this mentorship program summit. This event will focus on strengthening skills based on Fitness/Nutrition, Mental Health, understanding the BIPOC hockey community and expressing the challenges the youth face at this time.
Each participant will benefit by learning important life skills and the resilience needed for their future in hockey and the careers they choose afterwards. Our athletes will get much needed media coverage for their upcoming OHL draft while learning how to present themselves in front of the media while protecting themselves from negative exposure. They will also practice communicating with coaches and GMs at the highest levels and how to present themselves well in an interview setting with prospective teams. Resources and access to mentors will be continuously made available to them as needed and future meetings will include more in depth discussions about high priority topics.
As we guide these young people through the next steps in their journey, we want to create confidence in the young people they are and the people they strive to become. This Summit will be the first introduction to our program plan with face to face presentations from leaders and mentors that will guide our athletes throughout their development.
