Aspire to be Deadly: Transforming Behaviors Through Positive Youth Development in the sport of Hockey

Aspire to be Deadly is more than a sports program—it’s a movement that empowers young people to thrive. By leveraging the universal language of sport, Aspire creates safe, inclusive environments where youth build confidence, resilience, and life skills. Through structured mentorship and culturally grounded practices, the program shifts focus from risk to opportunity, guiding participants toward positive choices and healthy behaviours.

Sport becomes the catalyst for change: teamwork fosters belonging, goal-setting builds purpose, and achievement nurtures self-worth. Aspire’s approach aligns with Positive Youth Development principles—strengthening identity, promoting leadership, and connecting young people to community role models. This holistic model doesn’t just develop athletes; it develops future leaders who are proud, capable, and deadly in every sense of the word.
