The 5 Pillars of the Western Canada Professional Hockey Scouts Foundation

Assist and Aid

We support individuals in the scouting community facing medical challenges, including addiction and mental health issues, by providing financial assistance. This includes help with accommodation during medical treatments and recovery. 

Under special circumstances, we also offer assistance to those seeking to further their education.

Fulfilling Dreams

We offer support to underprivileged children by helping them attend a special event of their choice. Additionally, we organize Bid for Kids auction packages, with all proceeds going directly to a specific individual or child-focused organization.

Scouting, Player and Parent Seminars

We organize seminars to guide and inform aspiring future scouts, while also hosting speaking engagements that offer coaches, parents, and players valuable insights into the realities of playing hockey at the professional level. 

These sessions highlight the different pathways that lead to meaningful rewards and opportunities through participation in the sport of hockey

WCPHSF Wall of Honour

The Wall of Honour was established, along with a video presentation, to honour hockey scouts—past and present—in recognition of their dedication, commitment, and years of service towards the game of hockey

Supporting Western Canadian Organizations

We proudly support community organizations across Western Canada by contributing to health-related charities and providing financial assistance to help offset operational costs.

 Additionally, through our honourariums, we present financial awards to support medical and educational initiatives. 

We also assist junior hockey leagues in promoting education through sport-based programs

Our Wall of Honour

Our foundation was born out of a shared desire among current hockey scouts in Western Canada to create a Wall of Honour recognizing those senior scouts who worked in the NHL from the early 1960s through the late 1980s. These individuals deserve acknowledgement for the friendships they nurtured, the effort they put forth, and their many contributions to the game of hockey over long, dedicated careers.

Once that goal was set, we sought a venue that would partner with us to host a permanent video display for the Wall of Honour. The Okotoks Centennial Arena—just 38 km south of Calgary—and the Town of Okotoks, home of the AJHL’s Oilers, graciously accepted our proposal and became our partners in this endeavour.

From there, our mission grew. We established the Western Canada Professional Hockey Scouts Foundation with a broader mandate: to assist individuals, charities, and communities associated with hockey who may need support or financial assistance.

In just three short years, the Western Canada Professional Hockey Scouts Foundation has:

  • Created three honourariums and instituted the Ace Bailey Award

  • Inducted 79 scouts into the Wall of Honour

  • Held multiple Wall of Honour induction banquets

  • Hosted a Celebrating Indigenous Hockey Legends banquet benefiting Indigenous charities in Regina

  • Offered support to scouts facing serious health challenges

We’ve come so far in a short time—and this is just the beginning. Thank you for supporting the Foundation and the unsung heroes of hockey.
