Dear Hockey of Tomorrow reader,

The regular hustle and bustle of hockey took a knock as the tragic news of Adam Johnson’s death sent shockwaves through the hockey world.

There are a whole lot of discussions being had around health and protection in hockey, so we’ve decided to jump into these very important topics head on in the next month.

On a more upbeat note, we’re proud to share that in less than 8 months our network of 25+ diverse contributors has now surpassed 100 published pieces on our hockeytomorrow.com hub💥.

We’ve produced over 25M impressions across all platforms since the start of 2023, but more importantly we’re humbled by the positive response from you, our forward-thinking audience. We also thank you all for being a part of this journey.

With that being said, drum roll please…..

We are ecstatic to announce that we’ve been in discussion with a few potential partners for a unique initiative in mid-2024 …more drum roll please….:

The Hockey of Tomorrow Awards

This initiative is born out of a real vaccuum when it comes to celebrating everyone that is making a positive impact across hockey.

Our team has noticed that lots of organizations celebrate positive impact in hockey but it’s usually done in their own corners, patting themselves and the same usual suspects on the back with the same people leading the charge seperately.

It’s time to try and propose an alternative vision: how about we celebrate those who don’t get the recurrent mainstream media spotlight? The innovators, the entrepreneurs, the health professionals, the executives, the sponsors, the pro teams, the pro players, the agents, the youth leagues, the fans and all other related stakeholders that are stoically paving the way?

If that hits home to you, reply back and let’s chat.

The Vegas Golden Knights have made the leap to the city of North Las Vegas as they will start to manage a youth hockey program in the city next month.

The Golden Knights already run youth programs in Summerlin and Henderson and will now take on their third location. Mayor Pamela Goynes Brown announced in the city chambers that he reigning Stanley Cup champions will manage the programme last week.

That’s it for this edition of the Hockey of Tomorrow newsletter. As we continue to highlight the best, most diverse, and most interesting, off-ice hockey stories, you know where to find me.
