“Growing up, ice hockey wasn’t exactly affordable and quite frankly it wasn’t advertised as a sport that someone that looked like me, can play. My main initiative now is to create a bridge for more BIPOC representation in ice hockey. I want to remove cultural and financial barriers for more South Asians and People of Colour, regardless of gender, to play the great Canadian sport of hockey. I will also be responsible for sponsorships and new strategic partnerships for the Association to ensure that there are no financial obstacles.”

– Saye Sathiyakumar
