THUNDER BAY – The Kam River Fighting Walleye are a hockey team with a message to deliver, one of Truth and Reconciliation.
It’s an honour to play in the Fighting Walleye’s second annual Orange Wave Indigenous Night, said Kam River defenceman Kyle Lamoureux, on hand on Wednesday to officially announce the contest, which also serves as the team’s home opener against their cross-town rival Thunder Bay North Stars at Norwest Arena.
“I think it’s a really good opportunity for us to come together as people and just start to be open-minded about what’s gone on in the past and where we should be heading in the future,” Valley said. “A lot of organizations we work with, and not only with the Walleye, but outside of hockey too, are starting to become aware of the importance of that.
The Fighting Walleye have several Indigenous players on their roster, and once again will be offering the Walleye Warrior Indigenous Scholarship, helping a player cover the cost of post-secondary education once their SIJHL career is finished.The Fighting Walleye, which opened with a pair of road wins last weekend, have partnered with Warrior Supply to stage Orange Wave Indigenous Night and team president Derek Geddes said it’s a fantastic opportunity to spread a message of inclusion.
