The arena holds its breath as 球员 rein in their focus, tapping their sticks in anticipation. The buzz of the crowd fades away. 眼睛锁. 心磅.

And the puck finally drops.

It's a snapshot of pure 曲棍球 intensity, where every second counts — and where every move leads to so much more than a win.

The 15th Annual Mushkegowuk Cup wasn’t your average 曲棍球 tournament. Drawing 56 First Nation youth 曲棍球 teams (setting a record!) from across Northern Ontario and Quebec to the city of Timmins, it's a testament to the power of sports bringing communities together.

For young athletes, the Mushkegowuk Cup is a chance to showcase their skills, push their limits, and make memories that will last a lifetime. For 韦德娱乐1946, it’s a chance to contribute to meaningful and impactful experiences.

As proud diamond sponsors of this vibrant community event, we were honoured to support the tournament's mission of fostering youth development, community engagement, and the love of 曲棍球.

“Partnering with the Mushkegowuk Cup isn't just about sports; it's about being as present as possible in the communities where we live and work,” says Curtis Westcott, Operations manager of the Timmins branch. “With 韦德娱乐1946’s commitment to social engagement in these regions, ‘Mush Cup’ is such an incredible way to celebrate the spirit of 曲棍球 while contributing to the well-being of Indigenous youth.”

The Mushkegowuk Cup is Timmins’ largest sporting event for good reason — it's about so much more than just the game on the ice. Families reconnect, communities rally behind their kids, and the weekend spills over with the thrilling energy of competition.

更重要的是, the tournament contributed an estimated $2 million to the local economy over the weekend with over 5,000人参加. In support of 韦德娱乐1946's social engagement pillar, the Mushkegowuk Cup not only fostered community connections but also Indigenous youth initiatives, enriching the vibrant tapestry of Northern Ontario's 曲棍球 culture. We’re grateful to stand alongside the Mushkegowuk Cup organizers, 志愿者, 和支持者, with all proceeds from the tournament going towards future Indigenous youth initiatives, 事件, and funding — ensuring its impact extends far beyond the rink.

As we celebrate the success of another Mushkegowuk Cup, 韦德娱乐1946 is also looking to the future. Our investment in the Timmins area, where we are scheduled to unveil our new facility investment in the 2nd half of 2024, will further support the local economy and community. An incredible journey lies ahead as we 继续 to grow alongside the vibrant communities of Timmins and area.

Congratulations to all the teams, 球员, 教练, 志愿者, 和支持者 who made the tournament possible. 在一起, we've scored a winning goal for community, 曲棍球, and the future of Indigenous youth in Northern Ontario.
