[Cut back to solo shot of David Amber]

I’m David Amber, host at Hockey Night in Canada and the NHL on Sportsnet. In case you’re unfamiliar with NHLPA’s Goals & Dreams initiative,

[As David Amber continues, various Hockey 4 Youth players appear on-screen waving]

they’ve been introducing people to the game of hockey, mostly kids.

[Cut back to solo shot of David Amber]

80,000+ introduced over the last 20 years, in 34 countries,

[Transition to wide shot of David Amber and the Hockey 4 Youth group from Toronto]

bringing the love of hockey to many, many people. Today we’re connecting with some new Canadians who find themselves in the Hockey 4 Youth program in Toronto.

[Transition do a dual shot of David Amber and Moe Hasham]

Let’s bring in the man who started it all – Moe Hasham.

[Cut to solo shot of Moe Hasham]

[On-screen text: 'Moe Hasham', 'Executive Director & Founder, Hockey 4 Youth']

>> MOE HASHAM: My parents came to Canada in 1972.

[As Moe Hasham continues, various Hockey 4 Youth players appear on-screen smiling and waving]

I knew there were kids who would be left out of the game.

[Cut to wide shot of David Amber, Moe Hasham, and the Hockey 4 Youth group from Toronto]

And that’s the group that’s here today – they came to Canada as teenagers.

[Cut to solo shot of Moe Hasham]

Minor hockey is not really set up to welcome them into the game.

[Cut to dual shot of David Amber and Moe Hasham]

>> DAVID AMBER: 71% of people who come to Canada want to get involved in hockey. But, really only 1% find their way into that opportunity.

[Cut to solo shot of Moe Hasham]

>> MOE HASHAM: And that’s our mission, is to make them feel socially included in Canada.

[Transition to wide shot of David Amber, Moe Hasham, and the Hockey 4 Youth group from Toronto]

80% of the kids feel more socially included.

[Cut to solo shot of Moe Hasham]

And 91% of them say they feel better about their physical and mental health.

[Cut to wide shot of David Amber, Moe Hasham, and the Hockey 4 Youth group from Toronto]

The best way to build your pathway is through sport. And in Canada, it’s hockey. So that’s why we exist.

[Cut to solo shot of David Amber]

>> DAVID AMBER: Our first surprise coming out to our Hockey 4 Youth group today is,

[Cut to wide shot of David Amber, Moe Hasham, and the Hockey 4 Youth group from Toronto]

yes, Zach Hyman is here to join our call! Abner’s excited!

[Cut to solo shot of Zach Hyman]

[On-screen text: 'Zach Hyman', 'Toronto Maple Leafs']

Zach how are you doing?

[Transition to wide shot of Zach Hyman, David Amber, Moe Hasham, and the Hockey 4 Youth group from Toronto]

>> ZACH HYMAN: Awesome, it’s great to meet everyone on the call here.

>> DAVID AMBER: Maybe we should start by asking them a few questions Zach? And learning a bit about them.

[Cut to solo shot of Abner, smiling and waving]

[On-screen text: 'Abner']

Abner, who’s 16, from Mexico,

[Cut to dual shot of Abner and David Amber]

July 2019 he arrived in Canada and he’s been loving hockey since then.

[Cut to wide shot of Abner, David Amber, Zach Hyman, and Moe Hasham]

Abner had a big smile when he found out you were coming on. Abner, what do you love about hockey?

[Cut to solo shot of Abner]

>> ABNER: Oh my god, so many things. But, the principle thing is how

[Cut to wide shot of Zach Hyman, David Amber, Moe Hasham, and the Hockey 4 Youth group from Toronto]

you can get closer to people.

[Cut to dual shot of Zach Hyman and Abner]

>> ZACH HYMAN: I remember playing with my friends – ball hockey, road hockey, skating on the pond – I’m happy you feel the same way Abner.

[Cut to wide shot of Zach Hyman, David Amber, Moe Hasham, and Abrar & Khaled]

>> DAVID AMBER: Khaled, what’s it like playing hockey out there on the rink with your sister?

[Cut to solo shot of Abrar & Khaled]

[On-screen text: 'Abrar & Khaled']

>> KHALED: It’s so fun to play with my sister.

[Cut to dual shot of Zach Hyman and Abrar & Khaled]

>> ABRAR: Seeing him play hockey is the reason I wanted to play hockey as well.

[Cut to wide shot of Zach Hyman, David Amber, Moe Hasham, and Abrar & Khaled]

>> KHALED: So, I inspired you?

[All laugh]

[Cut to solo shot of Zach Hyman]

>> ZACH HYMAN: That’s kind of what happens, when you grow up in a house and you have an older brother, you try to be a positive role model.

[Cut to dual shot of Zach Hyman and Abrar & Khaled]

That’s great that you guys have that connection, and that you guys both share a passion. I think it’s really awesome.

[Cut to dual shot of David Amber and Rahaf]

>> DAVID AMBER:

Rahaf, what’s it like to get out there and compete, in school, but also compete on the ice against your friends?

[Cut to solo shot of Rahaf]

[On-screen text: 'Rahaf']

>> RAHAF: The hours that I spend throughout the weeks just in hockey, can be the most fun that I wait for in the week.

[Cut to wide shot of Zach Hyman, David Amber, Moe Hasham, and Rahaf]

Kind of literally obsessed with since I came to Canada.

[Transition to wide shot of Zach Hyman, David Amber, Moe Hasham, and the Hockey 4 Youth group from Toronto]

>> ZACH HYMAN: What do you guys think is the hardest part about hockey?

>> CRISSHA: I learned how to skate. It was so hard.

[Cut to dual shot of Zach Hyman and Crissha]

>> ZACH HYMAN: It’s not a natural movement, you’ve got to teach yourself how to do it. It’s not like running right?

>> CRISSHA: Yeah, and learning how to use the brake? It’s so hard.

>> ZACH HYMAN: Yeah, stopping. I remember when I was little, I would fall all over and fall on my face.

[Cut to dual shot of David Amber and Blessing]

>> DAVID AMBER: Blessing, what about you? You came from Ghana. There’s not a lot of hockey in Ghana.

[Cut to solo shot of Blessing]

[On-screen text: 'Blessing']

What was it like the first time you got out on the ice?

>> BLESSING: Yeah, it was tough. I remember, going on the ice, I was excited. But, as soon as I stepped on it, it was slippery and I couldn’t even stand.

[Cut to wide shot of Zach Hyman, David Amber, Moe Hasham, and Blessing]

But, Coach Moe told me to keep it up, because as time goes on I will pick it up. And now, I can skate.

[Cut to solo shot of Blessing]

It’s like the best feeling that I could ever feel.

[Cut to dual shot of Zach Hyman and Om]

>> OM: If you’re not going to be a hockey player, what will you be in the future?

[Cut to solo shot of Zach Hyman]

>> ZACH HYMAN: Great question Om. So, writing for sure.

[Cut to dual shot of Zach Hyman and Om]

I love reading and I love writing. How about you?

>> OM: Mine is cybersecurity.

>> ZACH HYMAN: Really? That’s very interesting.

[Cut to wide shot of Zach Hyman, David Amber, Moe Hasham, and Angel]

>> MOE HASHAM: I recruited Angel and Tony into the program so we could start the Ugandan ice hockey team, right Angel? At some point in time?

[Cut to solo shot of Angel]

[On-screen text: 'Angel']

>> ANGEL: I’m sorry, I’m shy.

[Cut to wide shot of Zach Hyman, David Amber, Moe Hasham, and Angel]

>> ZACH HYMAN: No you’re doing a great job Angel!

[Cut to dual shot of Zach Hyman and Blessing]

>> BLESSING: Sometimes when people of colour get involved, it sometimes results in racial profiling. What do you think about that?

[Cut to solo shot of Zach Hyman]

>> ZACH HYMAN: We all need to do a better job, especially in hockey, because like you said

[Cut to dual shot of Zach Hyman and Blessing]

I think it’s a predominantly white sport. And I think we have to encourage everybody to get involved. And I think that’s one of our slogans as players is “hockey is for everyone”.

[Transition to wide shot of Zach Hyman, David Amber, Moe Hasham, and the Hockey 4 Youth group from Toronto]

And it doesn’t matter what your skin colour is, or your races is, or where you come from, or what your gender is. I think it has to be for everyone.

[Cut to wide shot of Zach Hyman, David Amber, Moe Hasham, and Blessing]

>> DAVID AMBER: That’s a really good question, and great answer Zach.

[Cut to dual shot of Zephaniah and David Amber]

Zephaniah, 17 years old, also from the Philippines.

[David Amber's frame is replaced by Zach Hyman's]

>> ZEPHANIAH: I want to ask, what is your favourite food?

[Cut to solo shot of Zach Hyman]

>> ZACH HYMAN: A nice hamburger. I really, really enjoy hamburgers.

[Cut to dual shot of Zephaniah and Zach Hyman]

But I can’t have hamburgers on gameday or else I go too slow.

[Laughter]

>> ZEPHANIAH: With extra patty right?

>> ZACH HYMAN: Yeah, exactly!

[Cut to solo shot of David Amber]

>> DAVID AMBER: Zach do you have any announcements to make, any surprises here?

[Cut to solo shot of Zach Hyman]

>> ZACH HYMAN: On behalf of my teammates and the entire NHLPA,

[Cut to wide shot of Zach Hyman, David Amber, Moe Hasham, and the Hockey 4 Youth group from Toronto]

we would love to give you guys brand new equipment! We’re so excited and we hope you guys enjoy it.

[Cheering and thank you's]

[Various Hockey 4 Youth players appear on-screen, smiling and celebrating]

[Cut to solo shot of David Amber]

>> DAVID AMBER: New equipment coming for all of you.

[Cut to wide shot of Zach Hyman, David Amber, Moe Hasham, and the Hockey 4 Youth group from Toronto]

This is amazing, so much good stuff coming out from the NHLPA.

[Cut to solo shot of David Amber]

We’re not done though, there’s more excitement coming our way. Because next up we’re bringing in a Hall of Famer,

[Cut to solo shot of Doug Gilmour]

[On-screen text: 'Doug Gilmour', 'Sonnet Ambassador']

Doug Gilmour joins us now.

[Cut to wide shot of Zach Hyman, David Amber, Moe Hasham, and the Hockey 4 Youth group from Toronto]

To see all these kids, what does that mean for you to see how international the game has grown to become?

[Cut to solo shot of Doug Gilmour]

>> DOUG GILMOUR: That’s our country. That’s what we’re all about.

[Cut to dual shot of David Amber and Doug Gilmour]

>> DAVID AMBER: Doug, we had a really nice announcement from Zach Hyman a moment ago with new equipment for all the kids coming courtesy of the NHLPA and their Goals & Dreams. And I’m sure you have some things to share as well.

[Cut to solo shot of Doug Gilmour]

>> DOUG GILMOUR: I'm very proud to say,

[As Doug continues, various Hockey 4 Youth players appear on-screen smiling]

[Cut to wide shot of Zach Hyman, David Amber, Moe Hasham, and the Hockey 4 Youth group from Toronto]

[Cheering]

[Cut to dual shot of Doug Gilmour and Zephaniah]

>> ZEPHANIAH: We really appreciate it.

[Moe Hasham's frame replaces Zephaniah's]

>> MOE HASHAM: Dougie, whenever you want to come out and skate with us, you are more than welcome to.

[Cut to wide shot of David Amber, Doug Gilmour, Moe Hasham, and Zephaniah]

And Zephaniah, who’s a big donut connoisseur, she’ll bring the donuts for everyone to enjoy.

[Laughter]

[Cut to solo shot of Om]

[On-screen text: 'Om']

>> OM: Can I take a picture?

[Cut to wide shot of David Amber, Doug Gilmour, Zach Hyman, and Om]

[Om takes a picture]

Thank you guys, bye!

Goals & Dreams x Sonnet Insurance, Calgary Segment - Transcription

[Open on David Amber on zoom, in front of a background of a hockey arena]

[On-screen text: 'David Amber, Sports Broadcaster']

[NHLPA Goals & Dreams, Sonnet Insurance branding/watermarks]

>> DAVID AMBER: Hey everybody and welcome into another great initiative from the NHLPA’s Goals & Dreams Fund and Sonnet Insurance.

[As David Amber mentions Goals & Dreams and Sonnet, cut to the title animation]

[On-screen text: 'Everyone Deserves A Team', 'Calgary', 'In partnership with']

[cut back to solo shot of David Amber]

I’m David Amber from Hockey Night in Canada and Sportsnet. I’m so happy to be here.

[As David Amber continues, various SuperHEROs appear on-screen giving a 'thumbs-up']

Today we’re connecting with some amazing kids, some SuperHEROS out in Calgary.

[Cut back to solo shot of David Amber]

If you’re not so familiar with the NHLPA’s Goals & Dreams program, here’s what you need to know. For the last 20+ years they’ve been introducing kids to the game of hockey. More than 80,000 kids in 34 different countries, have been introduced to the game courtesy of Goals & Dreams. And before we meet the SuperHEROS, a key gentleman – and that’s Kevin Hodgson, the Executive Director of the HEROS program.

[As David Amber mentions Kevin Hodgson, cut to solo shot of Kevin Hodgson smiling]

[On-screen text: 'Kevin Hodgson, Executive Director, HEROS']

[As David Amber continues, his frame slides back in next to Kevin's]

Kevin you are so good with the kids, you have such a close bond in relationship with these kids. What does it mean to you to be part of this initiative?

>> KEVIN HODGSON: Our players are welcomed into the game of hockey, and are told that “you belong in this game” and “this game wants you to be a part of it”.

[Cut to solo shot of Kevin Hodgson]

Their experience kind of getting into the game was a little bit different. But when they get to do stuff like this, and feel like hockey players, it’s just so exciting be a part of it.

[Transition to wide shot of Kevin Hodgson, David Amber, and the SuperHEROs from Calgary]

I haven’t met a group of kids who love being hockey players more than the group of kids we get to see every week. If the game of hockey had more kids like these guys, the game would be in great hands.

[Cut to solo shot of David Amber]

>> DAVID AMBER: Look at the excitement there.

[Transition to wide shot of Kevin Hodgson, David Amber, and the SuperHEROs from Calgary]

I think they’re ready to go. Let’s start, we’re going to meet Ryder and his dad Aaron.

[Punch in on Ryder's frame. Ryder smiles and waves, and his dad leans into frame briefly]

[On-screen text: 'Ryder']

10 years old, second year player, a huge Flames fan. I think Ryder’s really going to enjoy what’s going to take place over the next hour.

[Cut to dual shot of David Amber and Ryder]

So Ryder, who do you think is joining us?

>> RYDER: Matthew Tkachuk!

[Cut to solo shot of Matthew Tkachuk smiling]

[On-screen text: 'Matthew Tkachuk, Calgary Flames']

>> KEVIN HODGSON: Look who it is!

>> MATTHEW TKACHUK: What’s up?

[Transition to wide shot of Matthew Tkachuk, David Amber, and the SuperHEROs. SuperHEROs cheering and smiling]

What’s going on everyone?

[Cut to solo shot of Matthew Tkachuk]

I’m so excited to be on this with you guys right now, and let’s talk some hockey.

[Cut to dual shot of Matthew Tkachuk and David Amber]

>> DAVID AMBER: Good to see you. The haircut looks good Matthew.

[Cut to wider shot of David Amber, Matthew Tkachuk, Kevin Hodgson, and Joseph]

Joseph and you have the same hairdo!

[Laughter]

[Cut to dual shot of Matthew Tkachuk and Piper]

You’re being reunited on this call, because Piper had a chance to meet you.

[Cut to still photo of Matthew Tkachuk and Piper in a locker room]

>> MATTHEW TKACHUK: Good to see Piper again. I remember, I think it was last year, Piper was chirping me after for me smelling not so great after my skate.

[Cut back to dual shot of Matthew Tkachuk and Piper. Piper laughing]

[Cut to dual shot of David Amber and Logan R]

>> DAVID AMBER: I think it’s a bit of a tradition that Logan R, he likes to ask that first question. You ready to ask Matthew Tkachuk a question Logan?

[Cut to solo shot of Logan R]

[On-screen text: 'Logan R']

>> LOGAN R: What is your plus/minus in your career?

[Cut to solo shot of Matthew Tkachuk]

>> MATTHEW TKACHUK: Oh man, this going to be tough. I think if I was better defensively, I’d have a better plus/minus, but that’s just not the case.

[Cut to wide shot of Matthew Tkachuk, David Amber, Kevin Hodgson, and Logan R]

>> DAVID AMBER: I looked it up. Let me give you a hint: it’s between 21 and 23.

>> MATTHEW TKACHUK: Oh, that’s way better than I thought it was going to be.

[Cut to solo shot of Jagger]

[On-screen text: 'Jagger']

>> JAGGER: What’s your favourite video game?

[Cut to dual shot of Jagger and Matthew Tkachuk]

>> MATTHEW TKACHUK: The new NHL game that my brother and I have played against each other. What’s yours?

[Cut to solo shot of Jagger]

>> JAGGER: My favourite video game is Among Us.

[Cut to dual shot of Matthew Tkachuk and Evan]

>> MATTHEW TKACHUK: Evan, if you’re goalie and I’m coming down on five breakaways, how many are you stopping on me?

>> EVAN: Maybe two?

>> MATTHEW TKACHUK: I think you could stop five out of five. I do the same move every time.

[Cut to dual shot of Matthew Tkachuk and Harrison]

>> HARRISON: What kind of washing machine do you have?

[Matthew Tkachuk laughs]

[Cut to solo shot of Matthew Tkachuk]

>> MATTHEW TKACHUK: I’m going to have my mom answer that because she’s right there. Mom, I need you for a second.

[Cut back to dual shot of Matthew Tkachuk and Harrison]

[Chantal Tkachuk enters into Matthew Tkachuk's frame]

Harrison wants to know what washing machine’s over there.

[Cut to solo shot of Matthew and Chantal Tkachuk]

>> CHANTAL TKACHUK: It has to be a good one to wash all of Matthew’s smelly gear.

[Cut to wide shot of Matthew and Chantal Tkachuk, David Amber, Kevin Hodgson, and Harrison]

>> DAVID AMBER: Harrison washes all the team’s jerseys after practice, everyone’s.

>> MATTHEW TKACHUK: That sounds like captain material right there, that’s pretty good. I’m going to start asking Gio if he wants to do that for us.

[Cut to solo shot of Matthew and Chantal Tkachuk]

[Chantal Tkachuk waves]

>> CHANTAL TKACHUK: Bye everyone!

>> MATTHEW TKACHUK: Thanks Mom, thanks for answering that.

[Cut to dual shot of David Amber and Matthew Tkachuk]

>> DAVID AMBER: Do you have an announcement you want to make Matthew?

[Cut to solo shot of Matthew Tkachuk]

>> MATTHEW TKACHUK: Yeah, so, as the NHLPA we’re proud to announce, we want to donate brand new equipment to you guys. And we’re very proud to do it.

[Cut to wide shot of Matthew Tkachuk, David Amber, and the SuperHEROs]

[SuperHEROs celebrate]

>> DAVID AMBER: Wow!

>> MATTHEW TKACHUK: What do you guys think? New equipment? And we can go out and skate and we can test out the new gloves, new sticks, whatever we got, new skates?

[Cut to solo shot of Logan C and his sister]

>> LOGAN C: Wow, that is, wow.

[Cut to solo shot of Logan R]

>> LOGAN R: Thank you!

[Cut to dual shot of Matthew Tkachuk and Logan R]

I’m a pro at hockey, just like you. All because of.

[Cut to solo shot of David Amber]

>> DAVID AMBER: And guys, we’re not done. There’s another big surprise coming right now. We have a special guest.

[Cut to wide shot of David Amber, Matthew Tkachuk, and the SuperHEROs]

He won a Stanley Cup, he’s one of the greatest Flames ever.

[Cut to solo shot of David Amber]

And that is Doug Gilmour.

[Cut to solo shot of Doug Gilmour]

Hey Doug!

>> DOUG GILMOUR: David, how are you?

[Various SuperHEROs appear on screen, waiting in anticipation]

On behalf of Sonnet,

[Cut to wide shot of Doug Gilmour, David Amber, Matthew Tkachuk, and the SuperHEROs]

we are going to donate a lot of ice-time for you in the up-and-coming year.

[Everyone cheers and celebrates]

[Cut to solo shot of David Amber]

>> DAVID AMBER: Does anyone want to say anything to the Hall of Famer Doug Gilmour?

[Various SuperHEROs appear on-screen and thank Sonnet/Doug Gilmour]

[Cut to solo shot of Doug Gilmour]

>> DOUG GILMOUR: You’re welcome.

[Cut to solo shot of Kevin Hodgson]

Goals & Dreams x Sonnet Insurance, Montréal Segment - Transcription

[Open on David Amber on zoom, in front of a background of a hockey arena]

[On-screen text: 'David Amber, Sports Broadcaster']

[NHLPA Goals & Dreams, Sonnet Insurance branding/watermarks]

>> DAVID AMBER: Hey everybody and welcome to the latest great moment

[As David Amber continues, cut to the title animation]

[On-screen text: 'Everyone Deserves A Team', 'Montreal', 'In partnership with']

with the NHLPA’s Goals & Dreams Fund and Sonnet Insurance.

[Cut to solo shot of David Amber]

[On-screen text: 'David Amber, Sports Broadcaster']

I’m excited to be here, it’s David Amber host of Hockey Night in Canada and the NHL on Sportsnet.

[Transition to wide shot of David Amber, Moe Hasham, and the Hockey 4 Youth players]

Today we’re hooking up with some amazing teens in the Hockey 4 Youth program in Montreal.

[Cut to solo shot of Moe Hasham]

[On-screen text: 'Moe Hasham', 'Executive Director & Founder, Hockey 4 Youth']

First we’ve got to start with the founder, Moe Hasham.

[Cut to a dual shot of David Amber and Moe Hasham]

Give us a sense of what was the inspiration to get the Hockey 4 Youth program going.

[Cut to solo shot of Moe Hasham]

>> MOE HASHAM: Hockey 4 Youth really started to get newcomer and high priority teens into hockey.

[Transition to wide shot of David Amber, Moe Hasham, and the Hockey 4 Youth players]

And the reason why we wanted to work with this demographic is because once you’re at the age of 12, 13 years old, and you want to join ice hockey, there’s not really that natural way to get into the sport.

[Cut to solo shot of Moe Hasham]

And so we wanted to make that easier by removing those barriers.

[Cut to dual shot of David Amber and Moe Hasham]

>> DAVID AMBER: Well you should feel really proud Moe, you’ve done great things.

[Cut to solo shot of David Amber]

I want to see if you guys can guess our first guest.

[Transition to wide shot of David Amber, Moe Hasham, and the Hockey 4 Youth players]

He’s won World Junior gold, World Cup gold, World Championship gold, Olympic gold, he’s going to the Hall of Fame when his career is done, he’s a four-time Selke Award winner, the best defensive forward in the game. Any thoughts on who that might be?

[Cut to a dual shot of David Amber and Jacob. Jacob raises his hand]

Jacob?

>> JACOB: Patrice Bergeron?

>> DAVID AMBER: That’s a pretty good guess, let’s see if you’re right.

[Cut to solo shot of Patrice Bergeron. Patrice is waving]

[On-screen text: 'Patrice Bergeron', 'Boston Bruins']

[Transition to wide shot of David Amber, Patrice Bergeron, Moe Hasham, and the Hockey 4 Youth players]

>> PATRICE BERGERON: Thanks for having me. I'm happy to be here.

[Cut to dual shot of David Amber and Patrice Bergeron]

>> DAVID AMBER: You have something in common with all these guys, because they’re living in Quebec, they’re big hockey fans. I imagine, as a young Patrice Bergeron, you might not have been a Bruins fan. Is that fair to say?

[Cut to solo shot of Patrice Bergeron]

>> PATRICE BERGERON: That is fair. I was from Quebec City, so I was a Quebec Nordiques fan.

[Transition to wide shot of David Amber, Patrice Bergeron, Moe Hasham, and the Hockey 4 Youth players]

So I wasn’t either a Habs fan, sorry about that guys.

[Cut to solo shot of David Amber]

>> DAVID AMBER: Let’s meet the teens. And we’ll start with

[Cut to solo shot of Alero. Alero waves]

[On-screen text: 'Alero']

Alero, 16 years of age.

[Cut to solo shot of David Amber]

How did you get involved in hockey?

[Cut to dual shot of David Amber and Alero]

>> ALERO: When I came to Canada in 2018, I was in English school.

[Cut to solo shot of Alero]

So then I moved to French school. So my teacher used to give us assignments.

[Cut to dual shot of Patrice Bergeron and Alero]

My project was sports. I discovered hockey, I was like “what is happening, what is this ice, how are they skating, how are they doing that?”.

[Cut to shot of David Amber, Patrice Bergeron, Moe Hasham and Alero]

I found a rink near my house, and I started going there, and I fell in love.

>> DAVID AMBER: That's awesome. What was your first time on the ice like?

[Cut to solo shot of Alero]

>> ALERO: It was bad, lots of falling. I had to use the baby thing, that you hold. But it was amazing.

[Cut to dual shot of Patrice Bergeron and Alero]

It was done for me, I was like “I’m in love”.

>> PATRICE BERGERON: That’s great. And just so you know I think we all go through that phase. The first few times that you try where you fall and then you’re like “Oh my god, I don’t know if I can do this”. But then the more you try,

[Cut to solo shot of Patrice Bergeron]

the better you get and the more fun it gets also.

[Cut to solo shot of David Amber]

>> DAVID AMBER: Jesse what about you?

[Cut to dual shot of David Amber and Jesse]

What is it about the game you love?

>> JESSE: Well ever since I was younger, I always liked the fact that you could skate on ice in winter, that it was an actual sport.

[Cut to solo shot of Jesse]

[On-screen text: 'Jesse']

I always liked soccer, so I like the competition and the team thing, the team spirit.

[Cut to shot of David Amber, Patrice Bergeron, Moe Hasham and Jesse]

So, as soon as you put it into the winter sport where I couldn’t play soccer, it was just a match made in heaven.

[Transition to wide shot of David Amber, Patrice Bergeron, Moe Hasham, and the Hockey 4 Youth players]

>> DAVID AMBER: So, you guys must have some questions. We’ve got Patrice Bergeron here, one of the greatest players.

[Cut to a dual shot of Patrice Bergeron and Jacob]

>> JACOB: Is Zdeno Chara that scary in person?

[Laughter]

>> PATRICE BERGERON: That's a great question.

[Cut to a solo shot of Patrice Bergeron]

At first if you see him, and don’t talk to him – yeah,

[Cut to a dual shot of Patrice Bergeron and Jacob]

he’s got a mean look to him for sure. But he’s a great person.

[James replaces Jacob in the shot]

>> JAMES: What's your favourite food to eat?

[Cut to solo shot of Patrice Bergeron]

>> PATRICE BERGERON: During the season, I always eat pasta with chicken and broccoli. I know it’s very, very boring,

[Cut to dual shot of Patrice Bergeron and James]

but it reminds me of hockey then it’s my favourite food. So that’s how it works, I guess, in my brain.

[Cut to solo shot of Jacob]

[On-screen text: 'Jacob']

>> JACOB: What would you say your favourite goal was you scored in your career?

[Cut to solo shot of Patrice Bergeron]

>> PATRICE BERGERON: I’ll go back to Game 7 of

[Cut to dual shot of Patrice Bergeron and Jacob]

the 2011 Stanley Cup. Being able to score in the Stanley Cup Final, and win the game obviously that was the most important part obviously, is to win with your teammates.

[Cut to solo shot of Alessia]

[On-screen text: 'Alessia']

In the NHL, same thing, the friendships and being able to compete with them and go through so much and learn. I mean

>> DAVID AMBER: Hey everybody and welcome into another special day with the NHLPA’s Goals & Dreams Fund and Sonnet Insurance.

[As David Amber mentions Goals & Dreams and Sonnet, cut to the title animation]

[Cut back to solo shot of David Amber]

I’m David Amber, host of Hockey Night in Canada as well as the NHL on Sportsnet. So happy to be here.

[Transition to wide shot of Moe Hasham, David Amber, and Hockey 4 Youth players from Ottawa]

Today we’re meeting up with a great group of young women, new to Canada, and new to hockey, in the Hockey 4 Youth program in Ottawa.

[Cut back to solo shot of David Amber]

The man behind this Hockey 4 Youth program, Moe Hasham, joins us as well.

[Cut to solo shot of Moe Hasham smiling]

[On-screen text: 'Moe Hasham, Executive Director & Founder, Hockey 4 Youth]

[Cut to dual shot of David Amber and Moe Hasham]

Moe, tell us about this. How do you go out and find the young women, new to Canada, and say “you know what will really help you feel great about coming to your new country”?

[Cut to solo shot of Moe Hasham]

>> MOE HASHAM: We really focus on high priority communities. We go into the schools. We really like getting in front of kids and presenting to them and showing them what hockey is all about.

[Cut to wide shot of Moe Hasham, David Amber, and Hockey 4 Youth players from Ottawa]

Quite remarkable when you see girls coming from countries like Syria, and Mauritania, and Pakistan, and Ethiopia, and Somalia, to take that chance and to get out onto the ice for the first time.

[Cut to solo shot of David Amber]

>> DAVID AMBER: Why did you feel hockey would be the right vehicle to pull these women together?

[Cut to solo shot of Moe Hasham]

>> MOE HASHAM: It’s so engrained in Canadian culture.

[Cut to wide shot of Moe Hasham, David Amber, and Hockey 4 Youth players from Ottawa]

The only barrier should be the boards. And once you’re a hockey player, you’re going to be a hockey player for the rest of your life.

>> DAVID AMBER: This is pretty cool. A group of young women, all of you brought together by the game of hockey. And I can tell you, our first guest is one of those women.

[Cut to solo shot of David Amber]

>> DAVID AMBER: She played in college at Wisconsin, she was a star there, then she joined the Toronto Furies in the CWHL, where she was a star there, and then she represented Canada at the Olympics in 2018, winning a silver medal.

[Cut to solo shot of Sarah Nurse]

[On-screen text: 'Sarah Nurse, Professional Hockey Player']

We’ll welcome in Sarah Nurse. Hey Sarah!

[Transition to wide shot of Moe Hasham, David Amber, Sarah Nurse and Hockey 4 Youth players where they are all waving hi to Sarah Nurse]

>> SARAH NURSE: Hey guys!

[Cut to dual shot of David Amber and Sarah Nurse]

>> DAVID AMBER: What barriers did you face as a young girl playing a predominantly male sport?

[Cut to single shot of Sarah Nurse]

>> SARAH NURSE: I was always told by other people – different parents, different opponents – that I probably wouldn’t make it in hockey anywhere,

[Cut to dual shot of David Amber and Sarah Nurse]

because everybody only saw the NHL. I didn’t really have that intention or a goal to reach,

[Cut to wide shot of Moe Hasham, David Amber, Sarah Nurse, and Hockey 4 Youth players from Ottawa]

and so I just wanted to have fun, and that’s what really has always driven me, and made me passionate about the game.

[Cut to solo shot of David Amber]

>> DAVID AMBER: I want to welcome in another guest who is going to partake in this conversation. And Sarah mentioned the NHL, the highest level of men’s hockey there is to play. And to be a superstar in the NHL, means you’re one of the best players in the world. Our next guest is exactly that –

[Cut to solo shot of Patrice Bergeron. Patrice smile and waves]

[On-screen text: 'Patrice Bergeron, Boston Bruins']

Patrice Bergeron jumps in now to join this conversation.

>> PATRICE BERGERON: Thanks for having me, happy to be here. Hi everyone!

[Cut to wide shot of Patrice Bergeron, Moe Hasham, David Amber, Sarah Nurse, and Hockey 4 Youth players from Ottawa]

>> DAVID AMBER: What does it mean to you to see all these wonderful women from across the globe, partaking in the game that you love so much?

>> PATRICE BERGERON: Oh it’s amazing.

[Cut to solo shot of Patrice Bergeron]

I’m so proud actually to see this. I think it’s an amazing moment,

[Cut to dual shot of David Amber and Patrice Bergeron]

and that’s why we want to make sure that hockey is a safe place for everyone.

[Cut to wide shot of Patrice Bergeron, Moe Hasham, David Amber, Sarah Nurse, and Hockey 4 Youth players from Ottawa.]

>> DAVID AMBER: Who was excited when they got out there and got a sense of getting a chance to play hockey?

[Sarah, Patrice and Hockey 4 Youth players raise hands]

Jemila, I see a big smile from you, why don’t you tell us what it was like the first time you got out on the ice.

[Transition to wide shot of David Amber, Patrice Bergeron, Sarah Nurse and Jemila]

>> JEMILA: I just really love it and I have so much fun and I never get bored of it.

[Mahreen transitions into Jemila frame]

>> MAHREEN: Pakistan’s national sport is also hockey.

[Cut to solo shot of Mahreen]

[On-screen text: 'Mahreen']

When I was in Pakistan I used to skate with those, you know, the wheel skates?

[Cut back to wide shot of David Amber, Patrice Bergeron, Sarah Nurse and Mahreen]

That’s why I was really familiar to ice skating.

[Cut to solo shot of Mahreen]

It was quite a good experience.

[Cut to solo shot of Shahad]

[On-screen text: 'Shahad']

>> SHAHAD: When I got familiar with hockey I was like “oh, that’s cool. Skating is cool”. Because for me, roller skates, my siblings used to play on it a lot. But when I tried it,

[Cut to wide shot of David Amber, Patrice Bergeron, Sarah Nurse and Shahad]

at the end of the first practice I was getting it.

[Cut to dual shot of Patrice Bergeron and Shahad]

>> PATRICE BERGERON: Growing up I did a lot of roller skating and in-line skating, and that actually helped. So I can see why your first experience on the ice was easy and you felt great.

[Fade to dual shot of David Amber and Wafa]

>> DAVID AMBER: How do you like playing with your teammates Wafa?

[Cut to shot with David Amber, Wafa and Meyyada]

Meyyada, do you want to ask her in Arabic?

[Cut to dual shot of Meyyada and Wafa]

[Meyyada translates David's question for Wafa in Arabic]

[Cut to shot with David Amber, Wafa and Meyyada]

>> MEYYADA: She likes to be on the ice and trying new different things, because she’s new to Canada.

[Cut to dual shot of David Amber and Meyyada]

>> DAVID AMBER: And Meyyada, did you find the same thing? It helps you?

>> MEYYADA: Yeah of course,

[Cut to solo shot of Meyyada]

[On-screen text: 'Meyyada']

I really like it and enjoy it.

[Cut to solo shot of Mahreen]

>> MAHREEN: What’s it like to compete for Canada in the Olympics?

[Cut to wide shot of David Amber, Patrice Bergeron, Sarah Nurse and Mahreen]

>> SARAH NURSE: Being able to play hockey there was definitely a dream-come-true for me.

>> PATRICE BERGERON: Yeah I have to agree. It was an honour, a dream-come-true.

[Cut to dual shot of Patrice Bergeron and Mahreen]

A very special event for sure, something I’ll never forget.

[Cut to solo shot of Jemila asking Patrice Bergeron a question]

[On-screen text: 'Jemila']

>> JEMILA: How do you feel when you’re in a game with the crowd cheering you on and playing together?

[Cut to dual shot of Patrice Bergeron and Jemila]

>> PATRICE BERGERON: To have a chance to play in a building full of fans cheering you on is amazing. The energy, the atmosphere, the feelings that you get are hard to describe, but definitely worth it and very rewarding as well.

[Cut to solo shot of Shahad asking Sarah Nurse a question]

>> SHAHAD: Do you like to play other sports, other than hockey?

[Cut to dual shot of Sarah Nurse and Shahad]

>> SARAH NURSE: I played so many different sports growing up, and I think that’s what made me into such a good hockey player, because I had a lot of reach in a lot of different sports.

[Cut to solo shot of Meyyada asking Patrice Bergeron a question]

>> MEYYADA: What do you guys do when you have a day off?

[Cut to wide shot of David Amber, Patrice Bergeron, Sarah Nurse and Meyyada]

>> PATRICE BERGERON: I chase my three kids around, that’s what I do. That’s my work-out on days off.

[Laughing]

[Cut to solo shot of Anita]

[On-screen text: 'Anita']

>> ANITA: How has hockey influenced your life?

[Cut to wide shot of Patrice Bergeron, Moe Hasham, David Amber, Sarah Nurse, and Hockey 4 Youth players from Ottawa.]

>> PATRICE BERGERON: The values that it got me. It wasn’t always easy, as I played hockey there were some ups and downs, there was some adversity I faced, and it was how to deal with it.

>> SARAH NURSE: For me, hockey has taught me so many different life skills.

[Transition to dual shot of Sarah Nurse and Anita]

But it’s also helped me become motivated, and it’s given me kind of a passion and a direction. So, hockey has definitely shaped me into the person I am today.

[Cut to solo shot of Patrice Bergeron. David Amber asking him a question]

>> DAVID AMBER: Patrice, you have a little bit of a surprise for all these young women here at Hockey 4 Youth?

>> PATRICE BERGERON: Yes, I have a very special announcement actually. So on behalf of my teammates,
