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. saltwire.com/atlantic-canada…

From 2023 Community Cohort Fellow, @kngprry 👏
By teaching Black and other racialized people to swim for free, Jacky Beckford Henriques and her team are taking on a historic Canadian inequity.
