Empowering Youth Through the Power of Sport


Sep. 30, 2024


At the core of Hockey NWT’s powerful initiative lies a fundamental belief: every child deserves a chance to flourish, regardless of their background or circumstances. This commitment serves as a vital reminder that we all share a collective responsibility to create a safe and nurturing environment where children can grow, learn, and thrive.

We strongly believe that hockey is more than just a sport; it is a transformative platform that empowers and inspires young individuals. Through our mentorship programs and efforts to foster a sense of belonging, we aim to make a positive impact on the lives of youth across the Northwest Territories. Together, we can help them build confidence, resilience, and a strong sense of community.

Today, on September 30th, we wear orange to remember, reflect, and celebrate resilience. This day serves as an important opportunity to honor the experiences of Indigenous children and to acknowledge the ongoing journey toward healing and reconciliation. By standing together in solidarity, we reinforce our commitment to supporting every child in our community.

Join us in championing the holistic well-being of every child, because their dreams matter. Let’s work together to create a brighter future for all young athletes through the power of hockey and the strength of our community!
