Scotiabank Girls HockeyFest Comes to Toronto, Inspiring Young Female Hockey Lovers
Cassie Campbell-Pascall
On Sunday, April 22, 300 female hockey players aged 7-14
will hit the ice with Canadian hockey legend Cassie Campbell-Pascall for the
seventh annual Scotiabank Girls HockeyFest in Toronto, at the MasterCard
Centre.
Scotiabank girls hockey is free, on and off hockey ice-training designed to empower young girls across Canada, with a passion for hockey, to dream big and reach their infinite potential. The event has aspiring female minor hockey players across Canada with positive experiences through the
game of hockey since 2005. Last year, Scotiabank reached the important
milestone of supporting one million kids and counting, through its commitment to
kids' community hockey across Canada.
"Scotiabank Girls HockeyFest is a fantastic opportunity
for young female hockey players to celebrate our nation's favourite game,"
said Cassie Campbell-Pascall. "Through this event, these young athletes
will improve their skills, build their confidence, and learn how to work
together as a team. I'm incredibly proud to be a part of this event because I
know from my own experience how valuable it is to receive support from the
hockey community. It's my pleasure to give back through the Scotiabank Girls
HockeyFest to these young girls who share my passion for the game."
This season, Scotiabank Girls HockeyFest was available to
young female hockey players at no cost in four communities across Canada –
Calgary, Winnipeg, Ottawa, and Toronto, the program's final stop. Along with
providing young girls with access to some of Canada's most influential female
hockey stars, the program includes on and off-ice training, and a nutrition
session explaining the importance of healthy eating.
"We are excited to present Scotiabank Girls HockeyFest
in Toronto, encouraging young athletes to reach their infinite potential
through teamwork, on-ice drills and inspiration from their hockey heroes,"
said Rachel Donoghue, District Vice-President, GTA Mississauga Region,
Scotiabank. "This event will allow us to share our passion for the sport
and to inspire a new generation of players to achieve their hockey dreams.
Young people are our future leaders and Scotiabank's goal is to help ensure
that they have the necessary skills and resources they need to support their
success."
Scotiabank has a long tradition of supporting Canadian
hockey at all levels – from community teams and minor hockey associations to
professional players and leagues. At Scotiabank, investing in our communities
has been a focus for over 185 years. We believe investing in young people is
the pathway to community prosperity.
