Please share a positive story with us! Do you know a player that is worth of being recognized by the CCM Assist Program? Every year around the holidays, CCM Hockey launches its #CCMAssists program in the spirit of giving back during the holiday season. CCM is looking for players who are doing amazing things in their local communities so that they can tell their stories. Being a hockey player is about more than just playing the game. Hockey is a rallying point for the community and CCM wants to celebrate players who share the values of giving back to their communities and demonstrating that being a hockey player means being an amazing person that cares about their teammates in need. Let us know if you know of a player on your team who is doing something extraordinary. Helping to raise funds for those less fortunate? Serving meals to those in need? Started a clothing drive? CCM wants to know about it and will be at the Caroline Ouellette Girls Hockey Celebration to meet these amazing young players and have them be a part of a documentary on hockey communities.
