The Lloydminster Female U13 Blazers from Alberta have been named the season six winners of The Chevrolet Good Deeds Cup and have made history as the first all-female minor hockey team to become season champions.

The donation will be used to create better accessibility in their new local rinks allowing more community members of varying abilities to play, volunteer and access the ice.

"We continue to see the authentic connection and positive impact this program makes across Canada," said Michael MacPhee, Brand Director, Chevrolet Canada. "As one of the most meaningful ways our brand connects to hockey families, we continue to be inspired by the level of dedication and empathy we see in communities across the country, all stemming through the game we know and love."

In a season dedicated to making hockey more inclusive than ever, The Lloydminster Female U13 Blazers were one of twelve Regional Finalists from across the country competing to be the 2022 Chevrolet Good Deeds Cup Champions. In the team's video submission, the team described how a fully accessible rink would allow better access for individuals with different abilities including a parent who was not able to access the box to help keep time. The team also hosted an inclusive hockey event and advocated for a barrier-free bi-provincial Para-Ice Hockey Arena. The team was selected as a Regional Finalist based on established judging criteria which in part looked at the creativity in demonstrating the Good Deed and its inclusivity, as well as the feasibility and overall impact it has on the community however it was Canada's votes that propelled them to the top.

"Our team has a very special connection to the changes that will be made at the rink," said Nicole Drobot, Team Manager, Lloydminster Female U13 Blazers. "Not only will it become better for their needs, and the needs of our parent volunteers, but it's a stamp and legacy left behind by this truly amazing group of hockey players. We are so proud of what they have accomplished."

The team received national recognition during Saturday's broadcast of Hockey Night in Canada to celebrate their remarkable achievement. Players were surprised at Russ Robertson Arena where they were presented with the grand prize and were able to hoist the cup and celebrate their championship together. While at the celebration, Ross Ulmer of local dealership Ulmer Chevrolet, surprised the team by matching the $100,000 grand prize with a donation to support Inclusion Canada, Inclusion Lloydminster's national chapter. Also onsite were members of Inclusion Lloydminster, Chevrolet Canada and Hockey Canada as well as national broadcaster, Anthony Stewart, six-time Women's World Champion and four-time Olympic Gold Medalist, Caroline Ouellette, Women's World Champion and Team Canada Gold Medalist, Sarah Nurse, and Two-Time World Champion and Paralympic Medalist, Tyler McGregor. Lloydminster Mayor Gerald Aalbers was also onsite to congratulate the team and share a few words on the local impact the team made.

"The Lloydminster Female U13 Blazers of the Lloydminster Minor Hockey Association brought to life the true meaning of the Lloydminster Place project's vision of inclusivity," says Mayor Gerald Aalbers, City of Lloydminster. "After witnessing first-hand how an inaccessible arena can affect others, the players and coaching staff researched accessible rinks. They showed true leadership in their advocacy to help ensure that the Lloydminster Minor Hockey Association and our brand new Lloydminster Place includes all people."

The Lloydminster Female U13 Blazers will now have their team name engraved on the Chevrolet Good Deeds Cup to commemorate the incredible contribution they made to their community. The name will be engraved alongside former winners including the Victoria Admirals (2020-21), the Torbay Northeast Eagles (2019-20), the West Carleton Warriors (2018-19), The Pas Huskies (2017-18) and the Glace Bay Miners (2016-17).

"As you know from my past features, Peachy Deegan and I were in the same class at Boston College prior to either of us becoming entrepreneurs. When we played together on the BC Alumni softball team in Central Park years ago, she mentioned she could not find a great dentist in Manhattan and could often be found networking on her phone in the outfield hiding from the ball. She was my second patient ever in 2006 when I opened my dental practice; I was one of the first sponsors on Whom You Know and the first Mover and Shaker featured in 2009 and have worked with her continuously since. She's even talked her friends that are doctors into being my patients, and they subsequently send their hospital colleagues. I don't know anyone that is as great of a networker and writer as Peachy, nevermind that she is upstanding and always good for her word. Cosmopolitan Dental is so happy to be in the company of the caliber of major brands she works with today, and although she will tell you a million ways to get your teeth dirty between Peachy's Picks, Terrific Takeout and Peachy's Pantry, Peachy Deegan will tell you there is only one way to get your teeth clean!"
