🖤 Hockey Diversity Alliance

Some change demands courage. This isn’t just about hockey -it’s about heart, roots, and the voices too long unheard. We’re not here for the spotlight, we’re here for progress. From the bottom of our hearts, we’re building a movement fueled by sincerity, community, and action.❤️🏒

Today, on National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, we honor Survivors, remember the children who never came home, and stand with Indigenous families & communities. 🧡 Listen. Learn. Act. #TruthAndReconciliation

Change starts at the roots. 🌱 Through grassroots programs and education, we’re creating opportunities, breaking barriers, and building a game where every kid feels they belong. Hockey should be for everyone✊🏽🏒 #HockeyDiversityAlliance #ISupportHDA
