Our hearts are with the Cole Harbour Wings Association
In times of heartache and uncertainty, we are reminded of the power of community—the strength found in unity, and the profound bond shared through sport. Today, our hearts are with the Cole Harbour Wings Association—a cherished youth hockey organization that has long stood as a symbol of passion, perseverance, and pride in Nova Scotia.
The Cole Harbour Wings are not just a team; they are a family. Generations of players have worn the Wings jersey with pride, growing not only as athletes but as individuals, molded by teamwork, mentorship, and the lessons that only a rink can teach. The legacy of this association runs deep—producing not just skilled hockey players but future leaders, lifelong friendships, and lasting memories.
Whether facing triumph on the ice or adversity off it, the Wings have always shown grit, integrity, and a profound sense of community. And now, as they navigate through a time of loss and difficulty—whether that be the sudden passing of a beloved coach, a tragic injury, or an unthinkable incident that has touched their extended hockey family—our thoughts and hearts are with every player, coach, parent, and volunteer who make up this resilient and tight-knit organization.
To the young players: know that you are surrounded by love and support from across the province and far beyond. Hockey is a game that builds character, but more importantly, it forges family. You are never alone in your grief or in your struggle. Every time you lace up your skates, every time you step on the ice, you carry not only your dreams but the spirit of everyone who has ever believed in you—those here and those we now remember.
To the coaches and staff: thank you for the countless hours you invest, the encouragement you offer, and the example you set. You have shaped lives with your leadership. In moments like these, your role as mentors takes on even greater weight, and your strength provides a guiding light for the young hearts looking up to you.
To the parents and volunteers: your commitment sustains this association and its players through the highs and the lows. Whether in the stands cheering, behind the bench, or behind the scenes, your care and presence are felt deeply.
And to the greater hockey community: we urge you to stand with Cole Harbour now, in solidarity, in support, and in remembrance. Light a candle. Tie a ribbon. Wear their colors. Share a message. Show up. Because in the world of hockey, we don’t let each other skate through hardship alone.
May healing come gently, may memories bring peace, and may the Wings forever soar—lifted by love, united in strength, and honored by the legacy they carry.
With heartfelt sympathy and unwavering support,
We stand with the Cole Harbour Wings Association
