CAPACITY BUILDING

Our Capacity Building program will be a unique approach where Athletes, newcomers, and communities can enjoy our development strategy, activities, and aim to combat on a comprehensive scale to help deliver programming for Indigenous Youth. In addition to traditional lectures and presentations, the workshops will also feature hands-on activities and case studies that allow participants to put their new knowledge into practice. Participants will also have the opportunity to network with their peers and share best practices and ideas for building successful hockey programs.

We are encouraging First Nations, Métis Chartered Communities, Friendship Centres, Urban Programs, and other not-for-profit Indigenous organizations to participate in our programs.

Youth capacity building development refers to programs and initiatives that aim to empower young people and help them develop the skills, knowledge, and confidence they need to succeed in life. Some of the benefits of youth capacity building development include:

Improved personal and social skills: Youth capacity building programs can help young people develop communication, leadership, teamwork, and problem-solving skills, which can be valuable in both personal, culture, and hockey settings.
Increased confidence and self-esteem: By participating in youth capacity building programs, young people can gain a sense of accomplishment and purpose, which can boost their confidence and self-esteem.
Enhanced academic and career success: Youth capacity building programs can help young people develop the skills and knowledge they need to succeed in school and pursue their desired career paths.
Greater engagement in the community: Youth capacity building programs can encourage young people to become active and engaged members of their communities, by providing opportunities to volunteer, advocate for social change, and participate in civic activities.
Enhanced well-being: Youth capacity building programs can help young people build resilience and a sense of belonging, which can contribute to their overall well-being and mental health.

Overall, youth capacity building development programs can provide young people with the tools and resources they need to reach their full potential and lead fulfilling and successful lives.

Youth Hockey Workshops

The Youth Hockey Development will consist of workshops to implement a strategic plan with recreation coordinators, coaches, and the Youth. An understanding of physical literacy and mental aspect will also be in play as it's vital for the movement skills of everyday life and motivation for an active lifestyle.

Here are a few examples of topics that might be covered in a hockey capacity building workshop:

Youth Team Building: This workshop might cover topics such as practice planning, drills and exercises for skill development, fun activities, and strategies for game day preparation.
Player Development: This workshop might focus on the long-term development of players, including topics such as skill progression, mentorship, age-specific training, and off-ice training.
Team management: This workshop might cover topics such as team culture, engagement, player communication, and managing team dynamics.

Safety and risk management: This workshop might cover topics such as concussion management, emergency preparedness, use of body language & health, and injury prevention.
History of Indigenous Hockey: This workshop will be more of an informational style workshop sharing stories of Indigenous Hockey success stories, resources of Indigenous hockey Research and knowledge, and how much Indigenous People contributed to the game of hockey.

Again, this is just a small sample of the types of topics that might be covered in a hockey Indigenous capacity building workshop. The specific content of the workshop will depend on the goals and needs of the participants. Once our visit is completed, we will gather all information that will go towards helping create our Hockey Indigenous Tool Kit to help communities and Indigenous Youth across the country.

Campaign Awareness

Indigenous hockey campaigns and initiatives are programs and efforts that aim to promote and support the participation of Indigenous peoples in the sport of ice hockey. These campaigns and initiatives may focus on issues such as improving access to hockey programs and facilities, promoting cultural understanding and inclusivity, and providing coaching and player development resources. These campaigns may focus on issues such as increasing participation in hockey programs, promoting the benefits of hockey, and raising funds to support the sport.
