Can we get a round of applause 👏 for this incredible group of Player Ambassadors! This past season, players from the #CHL and #USPORTS combined their talent on the ice with a passion for giving back, leading meaningful and creative fundraising initiatives that made an impact far beyond the game. Together, they raised more than $32,000 in support of @CanadasLifeline, helping ensure patients across Canada have access to the lifesaving blood and blood products they need. Financial donors play a vital role—not only by helping serve patients today, but by strengthening the foundation for a sustainable donor system for years to come. Every dollar makes a difference, supporting the essential work of #CanadasLifeline —from recruiting more blood, plasma, stem cell, and organ and tissue donors to advancing world-class research. Thank you to every Player Ambassador for using your platform to make a lasting impact, both on and off the ice. ❤️ @chlhockey @ohlofficial @lhjmq_qmjhl_ @westernhockeyleague @usportsca @aus_sua @ouasport @canadawestofficial

DAYNA BRONS HONORARY AWARD WINNER 🏆 Hockey Gives Blood is proud to announce Gavin Betts as the 2026 recipient of the Dayna Brons Honorary Award. This past season Gavin led the player ambassador program with two life-saving initiatives that demonstrated remarkable leadership and determination. Gavin’s flagship initiative Bettsy’s Big Save, was an incredible success – with fundraising pledges over $20,000 to support the vital work of Canadian Blood Services. Later in the season, Gavin hosted a 43-day blood drive at the Kingston Donor Centre inspiring teammates and the wider community to donate. This collective effort made an immediate impact and saw the Kingston Frontenacs’ Partners for Life blood donation team triple in size. Gavin’s selflessness and dedication to his community reflect the very qualities that Dayna Brons was known for. Congratulations Gavin on this outstanding achievement!

Did You Know?

  • Each year, about 100,000 new blood donors will be needed to give life, replacing the aging donor base and maintain the national blood supply.
  • People with type O-negative (O-) are considered universal donors, as they can donate red blood cells to all other blood type recipients. That's why it's always in high demand - it's used in emergency situations when there is no time to test a patients blood type.
  • Male stem cell donors are more likely to be matched with recipients because they offer better patient outcomes after transplant. We are calling for male donors from ages 17 to 35 years to register to become stem cell donors
