“Invite a bunch of kids to your rink and if you have equipment, give it to them and put them on the ice and see if they like it.”
In the latest episode of This Toast Is for You, we talk hockey with Colette from the Minneapolis Hockey Association. Colette’s passion for inclusion and her tireless work to eliminate financial and social barriers in youth hockey exemplify how grassroots initiatives can address Social Determinants of Health. Her efforts to diversify the rink, provide equipment, and fund registrations show what it means to invest in a healthier, more connected future.
