The Professional Hockey Scouts Foundation is proud to present the second annual Celebrating Indigenous Hockey Legends event in Kelowna, British Columbia. It promises to be an unforgettable evening dedicated to honouring the history, achievements, and lasting impact of Indigenous peoples in the game of hockey.
Held in conjunction with the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, the event will bring together legendary players for an evening of storytelling, recognition, and connection. Through powerful conversations and shared experiences, Celebrating Indigenous Hockey Legends shines a spotlight on the contributions Indigenous athletes and families have made to the sport and to communities across Canada.
Former NHLers Bryan Trottier, Ron Delorme and Jordin Tootoo are confirmed, as is Brigette Lacquette, who is the first First Nations woman to play for Canada’s national team and its Olympic team. Also confirmed is Wacey Rabbit, an assistant coach with the WHL’s Vancouver Giants, who was recently inducted into the Lethbridge Sports Hall of Fame.
Following the tremendous success of the inaugural event in Regina, this year’s gathering in Kelowna continues the Foundation’s commitment to celebrating Indigenous excellence, promoting reconciliation through sport, and inspiring future generations both on and off the ice.
Proceeds from the event will support community initiatives and organizations focused on youth, sport, education, and Indigenous programming.
