The mission of HEROS is to use the game of ice hockey to teach life-skills and empower marginalized youth. They provide free hockey programming for at-risk children and youth, offering a safe and stable environment for them to grow, connect, and succeed. All of their programs support a player’s life journey by focusing on the four HEROS behaviours: Listening, Respect, Discipline and Having Fun. These core values are implemented by players in their every day lives beyond the rink.
