Team fundraising is a crucial part of minor hockey to help offset some of the costs that come up during the season. From tournament fees to registration, the tried and tested methods of car washes and bottle drives have lasted for years. Over the last two seasons we've had to come up with new ways to raise money safely and lots of teams have turned to online platforms like FlipGive that make the process even easier. Guest Bio: Mark Bachman, Founder and CEO of FlipGive

Do you ever think why me? (00:30)Why of all people on this Earth you are presented with your unique life circumstancesI always wondered why I was always the only black kid It didn't bother me I just didn't understand why me and only me Reasons that could explain it: No other black kids wanted to be where I was (unique interest), Fortunate, Luck => Conclusion: All of the above This inspired me to look into where hockey in this city stands as a whole on BIPOC representation Where does hockey stand on EDI today? (02:12)Racial incidents remain present in the NHLIn 2011, a fan threw a banana at Wayne Simmonds In 2018, Devante Smith-Pelly was taunted with chants of “basketball”  More recently, Akim Aliu revealed that his coach used a racial slur towards him because he didn't like his taste in music Hockey Diversity Alliance (HDA) split with the NHL The organization founded by BIPOC NHL players to “eradicate systemic racism and intolerance in hockey” Goes to show that the league isn't listening. The HDA wanted to do something now, not eventually. As Akim Aliu highlighted, how can the NHL claim “hockey is for everyone” while only 5.7% of the league is made up of BIPOC individuals Realization: there's a lack of representation in hockey preventing the next generation of young back girls and boys from dreaming of being hockey players Representation starts at the top and inspires those from the bottom  Don't believe me? Well ask yourself how many young black girls and boys dreamt of being President after Obama was elected compared to before that - that's my point Did you know? (08:35)In the 2019 FlipGive & Scotiabank report on the Real Cost of Hockey, over 1000 North American hockey parents were surveyedDid you know that “Nearly 60% of hockey parents spend more than $5,000 per year to fund the sport and 41% of hockey parents spend between $5,000 and $10,000 a year, while 16% spend upwards of $10,000 a year on hockey-related expenditures” Costs included: league fees, travel, camps and equipment According to the last Census in 2016, there's a high concentration of black individuals in the North York and Etobicoke area which is also the area where the highest average income bracket is $70k IMplication: for black parents in these areas to fund their kid's hockey careers, they'll need to make major life sacrifices such as taking on debt, working another job, reducing other household budgets (groceries and entertainment)The Takeaway (14:00)Right now hockey is not for everyone We have an accessibility problem - Hockey is too expensive We have a representation problem Without accessibility, we will never have a true representation As we follow the steps of the HDA and improves accessibility in minor hockey, this will lead to future generations of BIPOC children aspiring to be hockey players

For generations, Canadian boys and girls from BC to Newfoundland and Labrador have grown up with dreams of wearing their home providence's NHL jersey or scoring goals on Hockey Night in Canada for the whole nation to see, just like Richard, Messier, and Gretzky before them. Or so we've all thought…   According to a new survey of 1,000 Canadian hockey parents co-commissioned by Scotiabank Hockey Club and FlipGive, Canadian hockey might not be as generational as it seems. Surprisingly, 63% of hockey parents surveyed did not themselves play Canada's national sport growing up.    Guest: Elizabeth Gladney VP of Marketing for FlipGive
