15 youth. One night at the rink.

IADC is bringing youth evacuated from northern communities due to wildfires to Windsor, ON and Delaware Nation (Eelŭnaapéewi Lahkéewiit) — starting with capacity-building and youth engagement programming alongside our youth mentor, Ali Altiman, followed by the Team Canada World Junior exhibition game vs Finland.

Thank you to Hockey Canada, Lucas Hulton, Jim Hulton, Benoit Roy, YMCA Eastern Ontario, SunEdge, and Cortney Clark Consulting for their generous support.

🚨 WIKI ROCKETS — 2026 Roster & Jersey Reveal 🚨
The National Indigenous Junior Hockey Championships are almost here! July 16–19 at Westwood Arena, Toronto.

This jersey carries a story. Through the Indigenous Heritage Jersey Design Contest, an Indigenous artist created a one-of-a-kind design — and the Strathroy Rockets are sharing their platform, resources, and this version of the jersey with our Wiki Rockets U21 girls.

A Jr. B organization choosing to stand behind an all-Indigenous women’s hockey program — helping close a gap this sport has felt for a long time. Miigwetch to the Strathroy Rockets for the support.

Swipe to meet the team taking the ice for us this year. 👉

Let’s go, Wiki Rockets. 🔥

🚐 THE JOURNEY BEGINS.

4 people. 3 dogs. 1 RV. One mission.

We’re hitting the road to Thunder Bay and we’ll be documenting the journey along the way. Stay tuned. 🐾🏒

Thunder Bay — we’re coming for you.

🏒 BIG ANNOUNCEMENT — The Thunder Bay Leadership Intensive is HERE. 🎉
The Indigenous Athletic Development Circle (IADC), in partnership with .ca and the Standing Bear Program, are bringing an elite two-day hockey camp to Fort William First Nation Arena on June 5 & 6, 2026 — completely FREE for 10 Indigenous youth from Eabametoong First Nation.
We aren’t a “parachute organization” that drops in once and disappears.
This camp marks our 6th meaningful interaction with the Eabametoong community. Real impact requires real relationships, and we are proud to continue building this legacy together. 🧡

Our Circle of Care mentors will be on the ice with the youth:
⭐ Jake Ritson — GOHL Rookie of the Year, London Knights prospect from Thunder Bay (Friday only)
🥅 Theron Morningstar — GOHL Goaltender, Ojibway from Mississauga First Nation
⚡ Brody Nielissen — Jr. A Hockey Player & IADC Youth Mentor
Two days. Two ice sessions. Leadership workshops. Financial literacy. Cultural activities. And a pathways panel showing the road from minor hockey to the professional stage as an Indigenous athlete.
This is what the IADC Circle of Care looks like in action. 💪🏽

📍 Where: Fort William First Nation Arena, 200 Mission Rd, Thunder Bay
🗓️ When: June 5 & 6, 2026

History is being made this May, and I am incredibly humbled to share that the Indigenous Athletic Development Circle is one of 5 businesses selected for the inaugural Launchpad Showcase at the NACCA Indigenous Prosperity Forum.
As NACCA celebrates its 30th anniversary, I’ll have the opportunity to stand before 500 investors and leaders to share our mission. While I’ll be taking the stage as the youngest entrepreneur invited to this level, I truly feel that being invited to this space is a victory in itself.
The $10,000 grand prize and the Harvard AFOA scholarship are incredible opportunities, but the real reward is the platform to advocate for the youth who often feel they have to leave their identity at the door to pursue their dreams. We’ve built the bridge, we’ve gathered the data, and now we get to share that story with the people who can help us scale it.
I am looking forward to connecting with, learning from, and being inspired by everyone in Gatineau from May 5-7.

I’d love to take you all on this journey with me. Drop a “🚀” in the comments if you’re rooting for IADC!
