HUMBOLDT — The Adam Herold Legacy Foundation is now accepting applications for its 2025-26 Hockey and Leadership Development Program.
The foundation was established to honour Adam Herold, the youngest player killed in the Humboldt bus accident. Adam, from Montmartre, was a talented athlete who was proud of his small-town roots and always willing to help others to make his community and province a better place.
The Hockey and Leadership Development program provides opportunities for Saskatchewan youth to develop and refine their hockey skills as well as their leadership potential. The foundation provides top trainers for skill development, physical and mental training, coaching development and ongoing support for hockey programs in rural communities.
“Talking to the participants about the importance of being good citizens and giving back to their communities is a key part of the leadership sessions,” said Russell Herold, Adam’s dad. “We’re very proud to say that the boys, girls and young men and women who have attended the camps have performed approximately 20,000 hours of volunteer work in and around their communities.”
The foundation will be selecting up to three communities to host the camps for the 2025-26 season, each with three full days of hockey and leadership development. The events are a joint effort between the foundation and host communities. Communities are responsible for arranging and providing ice and classroom facilities, co-ordinating registration and providing other support as required and the Foundation provides highly qualified coaches, instructors and other resources for the two-weekend sessions.
To date, more than 2,000 participants have attended camps in Balcarres, Gravelbourg, Preeceville, Alameda, Torquay, Radville, Naicam, Maple Creek, Langenburg, Carrot River, Quad Town, Biggar, Indian Head, St. Walburg, Lampman, Midale, Moosomin, Bruno, Cudworth, Kincaid and Â鶹´«Ã½AVey.
Communities interested in applying for the camps can visit the Foundation’s website , the Foundation’s Facebook page or contact [email protected] for more information.
Deadline to apply is April 7.
