Our U15 Wolves put together a strong performance and looked like the better team for most of the game. But in the final minutes, a few small mistakes and a loss of focus changed everything. After the match, Coach Luis used the moment to remind the boys that games can shift quickly, and that staying focused until the final whistle matters just as much as skill.

Coach Jacob isn’t just coaching hockey—he’s coaching people. That’s what makes him February’s Free Play Coach of the Month. 🎉

Jacob has made a lasting impact through his commitment to delivering the Sport to Life curriculum and creating a positive, supportive environment for every player. Over the course of the season, kids who could barely skate are now confidently suiting up for ice hockey with a new sense of belief in themselves.

That’s the “Jacob effect.”✨

The Wolves Athletics Club has been selected as a recipient of a 2026 UNIFIED Assist Program grant from Canada Basketball! 🏀🍁

What's in it for us: This funding will support the future launch of a Jr. Wolves 3x3 Basketball League, that could include 8 teams, with practices, games, and ID camps on scheduled dates throughout the season.

We’re grateful to Canada Basketball for investing in programs like ours and making sport more accessible. Can’t wait to get started and see our athletes on the court‼️

Bringing Free to Play to Ermineskin Elementary is having a meaningful impact on both students and families. Parents appreciate knowing their children have a safe, fun place to be after school, while staff have seen students who might usually struggle become engaged, active, and excited to participate. As one staff member put it, “This whole program… is so, so, so important,” especially for kids who face challenges outside the classroom. For the students themselves, the difference is clear—one called it “the best day of my life.” By removing barriers, this program gives more kids the chance to play, grow, and feel part of something positive.
