Creating and promoting opportunities

We are promoting and creating a generational direction for the present and future of Indigenous Hockey while acknowledging the past. Whether it's achievements, information news, or help planning for Capacity Building for change. 

Grassroot Development

Grassroots development for Hockey Indigenous is a national, provincial, regional, and community-driven initiative dedicated to fostering the growth of hockey within Indigenous communities. This grassroots approach prioritizes inclusivity, cultural relevance, and sustainable development, ensuring that development becomes accessible to Indigenous Youth and communities of all ages and skill levels while embracing and celebrating Indigenous traditions.

By emphasizing skill development, our organization aims to empower Indigenous Youth and communities, create a sense of unity, and build a strong, lasting foundation for hockey, ultimately enriching the lives of those involved and preserving cultural connections through hockey and supporting Indigenous Artists. 

The importance of inclusivity, diversity, reconciliation, and belonging is significant to our Indigenous peoples and communities to enhance their voices and talent. Truth and Reconciliation are vital as they not only acknowledge historical injustices but also pave the way for inclusivity, cultural promotion, and healing for Indigenous communities.
