"Hockey Gives Blood is one of the best initiatives we have encountered in many years. The founders are real hockey guys who understand the bonds of teammates both past and present. They have been in the dressing room, on the bus, experienced the thrill of victory and the agony of defeat. HGB has captured the vast network of “hockey guys” and has successfully rallied many of us in support of a worthy and much needed endeavor. We encourage the rest of our “hockey community” to jump on board and join the team! Together, we can make a difference in many lives."

"Partnering with Hockey Gives Blood was an obvious decision for us. Being so close to the Humboldt tragedy and understanding the postiive impact blood donation can have, everyone in our organization was eager to help grow this initiative. Stu and his group are hockey people so they understand how we operate and what works for us, which makes it easy for our team and players to get involved, support events, and act as ambassadors. Typically, junior hockey players are the picture of health and are all candidates to give blood, so if we can inspire other junior players, teams, and leagues to do the same I think we can collectively truly make a difference."
