Pink Shirt Day: what can players, parents, and coaches do to stamp out bullying in youth hockey?

Today is the CKNW Kids’ Fund Pink Shirt Day, and we’re aiming today to raise awareness of bullying, which of course is a major problem in our schools, our workplaces, our homes, and online.

We’re also raising funds today to support programs that foster children’s healthy self-esteem. You can find out more on PinkShirtDay.ca.

There have been lots of stories in the news recently about bullying in youth hockey. So we wanted to have a conversation now about what coaches, parents, and young players themselves should be aware of, to help stamp out bullying in the sport.
