Welcome to Courage Canada
In 2009, founder Mark DeMontis, a 23 year old blind hockey player, inline skated from Toronto, across five provinces and 5,000 km, to Vancouver to raise awareness about blind hockey. He founded Courage Canada with the vision of bringing the Blind to the ice. By starting Learn to Skate Programs in communities across Canada, blind children and blind youth are given the opportunity to learn the basics of hockey, are provided with a long lasting character building experience and shown that anything is possible.
Courage Canada also works collaboratively with current Canadian blind hockey teams to assist with funding as a means of helping sustain these blind sports programs in the various major cities across Canada.
