Leadership Hot Stove Session

A highlight of the evening is our Leadership Hot Stove, hosted by MC Clayton Kroeker. This segment features a candid conversation with SMHA alumni who have ascended to the highest levels of the game.

The session is designed to bridge the gap between minor hockey and the next step in the journey. Our guest speakers will share stories from their own time in Saskatoon minor hockey, offering advice on leadership, perseverance, and what it takes to succeed at the next level.

A Legacy of Excellence: Last year, we were joined by Dayton Deschamps (Regina Pats, WHL) and Kinley Brassard (Saskatoon Stars, U18AAA), who shared their experiences transitioning from local rinks to elite competition. Stay tuned for the announcement of our 2026 guest speakers!
