The Messier
Project, a public awareness and product development campaign designed by
hockey icon Mark Messier and the head protection experts at Cascade Sports,
is proud to support the Hockey Development Centre for Ontario's [HDCO] 2012
Penalty Free Sweepstakes and its mission to encourage skills, safety and
sportsmanship in amateur hockey across Ontario.
Since its inception in 2009, The Messier Project has worked
to engage the game's greatest influencers to promote safe play and make
head protection a top priority.
Today, more than 650 hockey teams across North America -
including Team Ontario - wear, and trust, the revolutionary M11 helmet.
The Messier Project shares the HDCO's commitment to protect
the more than 400,000 amateur hockey players across Ontario and its mission
to promote fair play, values, skill development, safety - and leadership.
Through the inaugural 2012 Penalty Free Messier Project
Leadership Award, to be presented at the close of the 2012 Penalty Free
Sweepstakes in February, The Messier Project and the HDCO will honor eleven
players that embody the values of the Penalty Free Sweepstakes and, in the
tradition of hockey icon Mark Messier and The Messier Project, exemplify
strong leadership both on and off the ice.
