The work we do at the Western Canada Professional Hockey Scouts Foundation is guided by these 5 pillars.
Support individuals in the scouting community facing medical challenges, including addictions and mental health issues, by providing financial assistance. Offer aid with accommodations during medical treatments and recovery.
Established the Wall of Honour, including a video presentation, to honour hockey scouts who demonstrated camaraderie and dedication in the community.
Conduct seminars to assist and enlighting potential future scouts and set up speaking engagements to provide coaches, parents, and players with information about the realities of playing at the pro level.
Donate to underprivileged children allowing them to attend a special event of their choosing, and organize ‘Bid for Kids’ auction packages with all proceeds going to a designated individual or child-focused organization.
Support community organizations across Western Canada with funding to reduce operational costs and donate to health-related charities. Provide honourariums for medical or educational aid and assist junior hockey leagues in promoting education through sports programs.
The Western Canada Professional Hockey Scouts Foundation membership comprises NHL scouts from Western Canada alongside a group of committed individuals from the hockey community, all of whom share a love for the game. Our non-profit foundation is appreciative and indebted to the game of hockey and all that it has provided to our life’s experiences. Because of that we feel a strong obligation and commitment to give back to charities, communities and individuals who could benefit from our support and financial assistance.
Through our foundation, we are establishing the Western Canada Professional Hockey Scouts Wall of Honour. This will recognize the numerous NHL scouts, past and present, who are from and/or have served in Western Canada and have made outstanding contributions to their teams, communities and the game of hockey. Having these individuals recognized through a public display on a Wall of Honour also will shine a spotlight on the importance of scouting to the hockey industry.
Without the support of our generous sponsors and friends, none of this would be possible.
