Bryant McBride Travels to Memorial Cup

06.02.2023

Bryant McBride, the co-chairperson of The Carnegie Initiative (The CI), traveled to Kamloops, British Columbia, Canada earlier this week to partake in festivities surrounding the 2023 Memorial Cup.

McBride was invited by the CHL to attend the tournament and on Tuesday took to the stage to share about the work being done by The CI. Afterwards, he talked with CHLTV’s Scott Vankoughnett.

“There’s no more important sport in the world to play for kids of color than hockey,” McBride stated. “And, that’s because the first thing you do when you get out there is fall down, and the first thing you learn is to get back up.”
