Open Ice: The Locker Talk We Need
Okanagan Lifestyle & Third Space Charity Present: Open Ice
Behind every jersey is a human story. Open Ice is where those stories get told.
Join us for the next edition of the Open Space event series, Open Ice, an evening of real, unfiltered dialogue on mental health with retired NHL players Andrew Ladd, Jordin Tootoo, Mike Smith, and Wade Redden. These are stories not often told in the spotlight, stories of struggle, resilience, and the human side of the game.
This is more than a panel. It is an invitation to gather as a community, to listen, to ask questions, and to share in a conversation that extends far beyond hockey.
