Welcome to The Empowerment Effect

Welcome to our empowering community, where the transformative power of ice hockey takes center stage. We bring together 31 enthusiastic participants each season for an unparalleled mentorship and skill development journey. Ice hockey, a sport that has woven its magic into the fabric of countless lives, is the conduit for positive change. Our dedicated volunteers, boasting over 50 years of collective experience ranging from recreational play to college-level competition, impart the game's intricacies and serve as mentors on and off the ice. Join us in embracing the empowerment effect of ice hockey, where camaraderie, skill-building, and life lessons converge to shape a brighter future for all involved.

Mentorship

Our initiative aims to instill lifelong skills and values beyond the ice rink. We strive to offer participants opportunities to explore various career paths, discover new hobbies, and embark on enjoyable field trips. Your support is crucial in making a difference – if volunteering isn't an option, your financial contribution will directly contribute to on-ice and off-ice adventures. These funds can make a profound impact, aiding girls in overcoming life's challenges, such as providing a participant with much-needed glasses when affordability is a barrier. Your generosity can address and transform the often-overlooked yet life-changing aspects.
