Feb. 26, 2025


Yellowknife, NT - Hockey NWT proudly stands against bullying and promotes kindness and inclusivity by recognizing Pink Shirt Day. This annual event, celebrated on the last Wednesday of February, encourages individuals to wear pink as a symbol of their commitment to creating a safe and supportive environment for everyone.

This year, players, coaches, and families across the territory are encouraged to don their pink shirts during practices and games, showcasing solidarity against bullying in all forms. Hockey NWT believes that sports can play a vital role in fostering respect, teamwork, and friendship among participants.

Pink Shirt Day is a powerful reminder that we all have a role to play in standing up against bullying. By promoting kindness and respect, we can create a positive atmosphere both on and off the ice.

As part of the initiative, Hockey NWT will be sharing resources and tips on how to combat bullying and support one another within the hockey community. Together, let’s make a difference and ensure that our sport remains a place where everyone feels valued and included.
