The NHL Playoffs are scheduled to start on August 1st in Toronto and Edmonton and regardless of the changes it is a beloved time for hockey fans everywhere! The cool arenas are ablaze with heated rivalries. Go [insert your favorite team here]!
ProSpeakers.com’s Virtual keynote Speaker roster includes many hockey greats. From the likes of Wayne Gretzky, Cassie Campbell, Ron Ellis, Trevor Linden and Hayley Wickenheiser – to name a few. We also represent a huge list of NHL hockey media including James Duthie, Elliotte Friedman, Ron Maclean and Bob Mackenzie.
We love seeing them score goals, win medals and sometimes even throw a punch. However, their performance off the ice is just as impressive.
Known as one of the most refined players in professional hockey, former NHL All-Star and
Olympian Trevor Linden started the Trevor Linden Foundation in 1997. The organization is
devoted to encouraging young people to discover their strengths and achieve their full potential.
The foundation has partnered with other organizations and individuals who are engaged in youth development programs that support the values of integrity, hard work, responsibility and leadership. They have worked with charities in British Columbia, Montreal and New York to raise funds and awareness.
The “Trevor Linden Community Spirit Scholarship” rewards four students in British Columbia entering their first year of post secondary education. The scholarship is given to students in good academic standing who have demonstrated outstanding leadership abilities and exceptional commitment to enriching the lives of others in their community.
Four-time Olympic medalist and medical doctor, Hayley Wickenheiser is regarded as one of the best female hockey players in the world with an uncompromised determination and dedication to her sport. However, it’s not just her lethal slap-shot that is respected by her teammates, fans and peers; Wickenheiser is a community leader and mentor.
Hayley’s hockey career allows her to connect with girls and women across the country. She believes that playing sports empower girls to find their self-confidence, inner-strength and outer-expression. Last week, Hayley spoke about the organization’s campaign to sponsor girls in the struggling region of Hatibandha, Bangladesh.
