2023 Herb Carnegie Trailblazer Award - Moezine Hasham (The Carnegie Initiative)

To follow in the footsteps of Herb Carnegie and to receive an award with his family name on it is truly humbling. I dedicate this award to my entire immediate and extended family who arrived in Canada 50 years ago as refugees, to my wife Monika Amlani and Paul Hillman who were 2 of the first people who supported my journey to build this charity and to all of the newcomer youth and sidelined teens who continue to skate, fall and get back up.

Via Bauer Hockey: “Doing everything for the game means bringing hockey to underserved communities so all feel welcomed to play.

Last month, we teamed up with Hockey 4 Youth program to create a one-of-a-kind experience where girls would be gifted with full sets of new equipment.

The big surprise, however, was that Nick Suzuki, Marie-Philip Poulin and Laura Stacey were on hand to help us fit the players before testing the gear at a nearby rink.”
