Kaden Boston U14 ( Team McKinnish) and Theo Kopf U12 (Team Brennan/Rayner) participated in the Summer Shootout tournament in Hershey, Pennsylvania this weekend. They represented the Hockey Players Of Color Movement. This is the first tournament for the Hockey Players of Color Movement. Boston played on the U14 team and Kopf played on the U12 team. Both teams were coached by Jazmine Miley who is the founder and CEO of Hockey Players Of Color Movement. 

The Hockey Players Of Color Movement (HPOC) focuses on highlighting, promoting and supporting hockey players of color globally and at every level. Jazmine's resume is also impressive. https://www.hpocmovement.com/

Kaden and Theo were 2 of the 43 players that represented 16 states, Puerto Rico and two Provinces in Canada. There were 3 HPOC teams U10, U12, and U14 that played in the tournament. It was an amazing experience for the players and for their families.
