The Richmond Ravens hockey players who took part in the Orange Jersey Project

To finish off the hockey season, the Richmond Ravens U11 C1 team wore orange practice jerseys as part of the project to spark conversations about residential schools.

The jerseys were among 10,000 distributed nationwide by the Orange Jersey Project to youth hockey teams to promote dialogue about the schools and their harmful impact on Indigenous children and families.

The jerseys have a QR code (http://orangejerseyproject.ca) which provides links to educational learning modules and videos featuring Carey Price, Ethan Bear and dozens of professional Indigenous and non-Indigenous athletes.
