Theme of the 2019 SHDIC: Courage
Each year, Sportsnet and Scotiabank work together on a theme for the Scotiabank Hockey Day in
Canada event. For 2019 and the City of Swift Current, the theme is Courage.
If there is a community that embodies Courage, it is Swift Current.
From the tragic Swift Current Broncos bus crash that claimed the lives of 4 players in the winter
of December 1986 to winning the Memorial Cup three years later, this community has shown
time and time again the courage to move on.
This Scotiabank Hockey Day in Canada event will be a community celebration and will display
the courage that the community has shown through the tough times.Merchandise

Swift Current has a rich hockey history and like any community in Saskatchewan, hockey is the
heartbeat. It is a place where people can come together, enjoy the fellowship of others and forget
about the daily grind for a few short hours.
This program will highlight local hockey history, share interviews with hockey legends and
strike a chord with many when discussing the theme of this years Scotiabank Hockey Day in
Canada; Courage.
Programs can be purchased at Swift Current City Hall – Community Services beginning in late
December.Picture with the Stanley Cup

Over the last 3 years, Respect Group and Safe Places have a shared commitment to raise
awareness of bullying, abuse, harassment and discrimination working collaboratively to
implement our Safe Places initiative.
More recently, we have started working on promoting our initiative across Canada in the hope
that Safe Places becomes a trademark that represents a commitment to the quality of service and
safety of our youth.
In celebration of the work that Respect Group has done to help our community act against abuse,
Safe Places decided to run a tournament as part of Scotiabank Hockey Day in Canad. Not only
are we paying respect to one of our greatest Broncos, but we hope to bring more awareness for
Safe Places and build on the legacy Sheldon has created around the rights of youth.
We will ensure all of our coaches and volunteers are Safe Places Youth Certified and have
decided to offer free training to become Youth Certified to any parents and community members
involved in Scotiabank Hockey Day in Canada.
Sheldon Kennedy Youth Outdoor Classic
The Novice division of Swift Current Minor Hockey will be redrafted to form eight teams that
will play for the Sheldon Kennedy Youth Outdoor Classic Cup. Sheldon Kennedy will make the
official puck drop on Thursday evening and present the winning team with the Cup on Saturday.
One player from each team will be eligible to win tickets to the SHDIC Banquet and the chance
to walk in with Don and Ron! For more details, please contact Kelly Schafer at
k.schafer@swiftcurrent.ca.
Aside from bragging rights, this outdoor event is an opportunity to celebrate the game of hockey
as part of the bigger Hockey Day in Canada legacy. We are excited to embrace the SHDIC them
of Courage as we celebrate Sheldon’s courage to act and be a changemaker! The tournament is a
chance for our youth enjoy what sport should be all about!
“The game of hockey is so much more than winning or losing. Sport in general offers a place to
learn, to escape, an opportunity to grow as a person and develop positive relationships and
friendships”. The Sheldon Kennedy Youth Outdoor Classic gives us a specific platform to
continue the conversation about making sport safe and enjoyable for young people”.
