About Our Initiative
hockey against hate 2025
A tournament with heart. A movement with impact.
On August 24, 2025, 15 teams from across Ottawa and beyond will hit the ice — not just to compete, but to stand for something bigger.
Hockey Against Hate is more than a tournament. It’s a growing movement that brings people together to push back against racism, build bridges across communities, and use the power of sport to create real change.
This year’s tournament proudly supports:
🟦 R.I.S.E. (Reach. Inspire. Soar. Empower.) and their student-led campaign, “Let’s Blow the Whistle on Racism in Hockey” — a bold initiative tackling racism in the game we love, guided by R.I.S.E. founder Rebecca Chambers and hockey pioneer Bob Dawson.
🟨 First Assist, strengthening Indigenous communities through sport and education, and reminding us that no matter who we are or where we’re from — sport brings us together.
🟧 Year-round community impact, including mental health support, school outreach, multifaith education, and the interfaith bridge-building work led by Rabbi Idan Scher. From welcoming public school students into synagogues, mosques, and gurdwaras, to strengthening partnerships around housing, chaplaincy, and inclusion in sport — this work brings communities together across lines of faith, culture, and experience, all year long.
Whether you’re a player, sponsor, or supporter, there’s a place for you in this movement. Join us on the ice — or behind the scenes — and help us turn one incredible day of hockey into a lasting force for good.
