What is the plan for 2022?

The ultimate goal is to fully launch 1616 to as many youth hockey teams as possible in the fall of 2022, in conjunction with the 2022/2023 hockey season.

We piloted the program in the fall of 2021 with a test group and analyzed pilot data and feedback. We are now working to adapt and iterate program elements and form strategic partnerships before a full launch.

Program Development Budget

We have completed the first 5 phases of development. We ran our 7-week pilot program that included 11 teams from across North America and over 500 coaches, players, and caregivers. The overwhelming results and feedback affirm our belief that 1616 meets a critical need and has the potential to transform youth hockey.

We are now seeking additional funding for phases 6 & 7 to rework current program materials and produce new material for our full 16-weeks program.

An invitation to partner with us

The vision for 1616 is big and bold and we can’t accomplish it without you. The lives of our children are too important to ignore the mental and social challenges they’re facing. We need your partnership at this critical stage to help us bring the 1616 vision to life so that together, we can shift the culture of youth hockey and equip hundreds of thousands of youth in North America with the tools they need to thrive.

Together we can change the game. Together, we will create an environment for kids, parents and coaches which cultivates skills like resilience, connection, confidence, empathy and leadership. Please consider partnering with us by investing financially into the development of this game-changing program that will have an impact for generations to come.

With gratitude,
