In conjunction with Hockey Is For Everyone Month, a special screening of Soul On Ice: Past, Present & Future will be held at the Dipson Amherst Theatre tonight at 7 p.m. Tickets cost $10 and all proceeds will benefit Hasek's Heroes.
Soul On Ice: Past, Present & Future touches on the many contributions black athletes have made to ice hockey. The film primarily follows Jaden Lindo, a young man working to make his goal of reaching the NHL a reality. Icons like Tony McKegney, Wayne Simmonds, Grant Fuhr and Don Cherry also sit down to offer in-depth interviews and personal insights.
After the screening, Mason will lead a panel discussion that will also include Sabres alumni Tony McKegney and Val James, both of whom are featured in the film.
The HIFE movement is designed to support non-profit youth hockey organizations committed to allowing children of all backgrounds to play hockey.
