Featured Story
"Being part of Black Girl Hockey Club, now the Women of Colour Hockey Collective, changed the way I see myself in hockey. It gave me confidence, community, and the reminder that I belong in this sport."
"That experience stayed with me and pushed me to give back in a meaningful way. I created Kianna's Krew to provide young Black youth in Manitoba with the same support, visibility, and encouragement that helped shape my journey."
"What began as a passion has pushed me to ensure others are able to have the same confidence and supportive community that has shaped not only my experience, but who I am as a person."
Player
WCHC played a huge role in shaping my hockey journey by giving me a sense of belonging and showing me the power of community in a space where that's not always felt. It inspired me to organize a Black History Month game at Queen's as a way to celebrate our presence in hockey and start a tradition that empowers future superstars.
Player
"The Women of Colour Hockey Collective has opened so many doors for me and has shown me countless possibilities. They create an environment that is welcoming and empowering for all women of colour. I'm so proud to be a part of so many powerful initiatives, give back to my community, and show other young girls out there that anything is possible!"
Player
"The Women of Colour Hockey Collective has been instrumental in my journey, creating a strong sense of community and fostering lasting friendships with other Black women in hockey. It has provided a space filled with fellowship, joy, and genuine connection. More than anything, it's a place where I've consistently felt a deep sense of belonging."
