Earlier this year, a very special opportunity came about for Sports Excellence. We were asked to develop a commemorative hockey stick to honour the survivors of the Canadian residential schools. This ECM (Every Child Matters) hockey stick is designed with truly meaningful symbols that represent the struggles, the pain and hope of those survivors. Sports Excellence is excited to support them in this awareness campaign, and in doing so, will be donating proceeds of every hockey stick sold to select charities for this inaugural launch. Both Senior and Intermediate will see $20 donated per stick, as well as $15 for Junior sticks. These donations will be split between the Orange Shirt Society (a non-profit organization), The National Centre for Truth and Reconciliation (charity # 11926-0669-RR0001), and The United Way (charity # 11927 6509 RR0001).

We are looking forward to a great upcoming hockey season and a great campaign.
