Carrot River to host the Adam Herold Legacy Foundation, Hockey and Leadership Development Program

Oct 7, 2021 | 5:35 PM

Carrot River is set to host the Adam Herold Legacy Foundation, Hockey and Leadership Development Program this weekend, with the camp running all day Saturday and Sunday, Oct. 9 and 10.

This means all registered hockey players and coaches in Carrot River and surrounding communities will take to the ice with some pretty experienced hockey players (former NHLers for example) and coach/training staff to develop hockey and leadership skills.

Adam Herold was one of the many tragically lost in the Humboldt Broncos bus crash in 2018. His family has since established this foundation and their goal is simple: “to build better hockey players and, more importantly, to nurture and support strong community-minded leaders, just like Adam”.

Carrot River welcomes all leaders, coaches, and players to their community and is honoured to have been one of the three chosen communities and look forward to what their young hockey community can learn.

Miranda Blaber, Community Development manager for the Town of Carrot River, knows how important this camp is and the opportunities it provides to many members of the community.

“The kids and coaches are going to be getting some great skill-building opportunities with individuals who have been in the hockey program for a significant amount of time and not just at a lower basic level,” said Blaber. “We’re talking about people who have made it to the NHL, people who have worked through the SJHL and WHL. They have quite a vast knowledge of the sport and know how to better build yourself. I think our community is very excited and honoured to be chosen to have this come here and get the opportunity.”

Blaber also knows how honourable Herold’s parents are for creating this foundation and providing the same opportunities that Herold had as a kid..

“It’s quite an honour, first of all, to be chosen for something of this calibre, for our young athletes and coaches and of course the piece of carrying on a legacy for a young individual and a person who had a wonderful hockey experience and that we can foster that within our community,” said Blaber. “It’s quite an honourable thing and we are very fortunate and we’re really excited to see everything come into action this weekend.

“They just felt that their son had a wonderful opportunity and they want to make sure that other kids have that as well and to me, that’s just such an honourable thing and we’re so fortunate to have that here.”

Blaber also mentioned how great this foundation is in giving back to communities all across Saskatchewan and the young athletes and coaches within.
