A big hearty hello from Saskatoon, Saskatchewan.  I am here for the World Junior Championships, and if you ever get the chance to go and see these young kids play, I would highly recommend doing so.  The games are excellent, the town is completely overtaken with hockey fans from around the world, and the atmosphere is like a carnival.

With a new year upon us, and many challenges in front of us, we will continue The Messier Project campaign and our mission to evolve priorities within the sport of hockey with a goal of protecting our players better by addressing the issue of concussion.  We will continue to create awareness, lead initiatives and engage the hockey community to inspire conversation around creating solutions.

Change of any kind is always difficult.  However, we are confident in the feedback we receive from players, teams, coaches, equipment managers, trainers, mothers, fathers and many others in the hockey world who have joined The Messier Project team.  We look forward to continuing our conversation!

Here’s to a great big cheer for the tireless efforts of all our supporters and their belief in our mission.

Mark Messier
