Building Strong Foundations On and Off the Ice
My Experience Sponsoring and Volunteering with the Ottawa Girls Hockey Association’s Fundamentals Program
This past season, I had the incredible opportunity to be an exclusive sponsor and volunteer with the Ottawa Girls Hockey Association’s (OGHA) Fundamentals Program—a development program for girls under 7, designed to introduce them to hockey in a fun and supportive environment.
Hockey has always been a big part of our community here in Ottawa, and seeing these young athletes take their first strides, learn new skills, and build confidence was an experience I’ll never forget. Whether it was cheering them on from behind the bench, helping them find their balance on the ice, or seeing their excitement after scoring their first goal—it reminded me just how important it is to have a strong foundation in everything we do.
Why I Chose to Get Involved
As a father, business owner, and hockey fan, I know firsthand the value of a supportive environment, good coaching, and access to opportunities—both in sports and in life. The OGHA is doing amazing work to make hockey more accessible to young girls, ensuring they have a chance to develop not only their skills but also friendships, discipline, and a love for the game.
Being part of this program as a sponsor meant helping provide resources to keep the program running strong, while volunteering gave me the chance to connect with the players, encourage their growth, and support their development firsthand. It was rewarding to give back in a way that directly impacts families in our community, and I look forward to continuing this support in future seasons.
The Connection to Real Estate
At first glance, you might not think hockey and real estate have much in common, but the truth is, strong foundations make all the difference—whether you're learning to skate for the first time or making one of the biggest investments of your life.
Just like these young athletes need guidance, training, and encouragement to develop their skills, homebuyers and investors need expert advice, planning, and support to make the right real estate decisions. Whether it’s finding the perfect home for a growing family or helping investors build wealth through real estate, I’m passionate about creating stability and opportunity—both on and off the ice.
Looking Ahead
This season may be over, but the impact of programs like OGHA’s Fundamentals Program lasts far beyond the final buzzer. I’m grateful to have been part of it and look forward to seeing these players continue to grow in the years ahead.
If you’re a parent looking for a great program to get your daughter into hockey, I highly recommend checking out the OGHA. And if you're thinking about making a move in real estate, let’s chat—I’d love to help you build a strong foundation for the next chapter of your life.
