Hawerchuk Strong - 2024 Initiatives

The Gameday Experience

Hawerchuk Strong is proud to announce that for the 2024-2025 NHL season, we will be working with several Manitoba charities to send a different child and their caregiver to every Winnipeg Jets home game. With 41 home games, we are thrilled to be able to gift this experience to so many members of the community where they can create lifelong memories.

"This initiative is very special to our family. My siblings and I share many of our favourite memories of being at the rink with my mom or dad and watching an NHL game in person. My family and I realize how lucky we are to have had this opportunity and are excited to share such an amazing experience with others."- Eric Hawerchuk

This wouldn't be possible without the generosity of our incredible supporters. Thank you for helping us make a difference! Visit the shop page and check out our new line of products available for preorder which will begin shipping in November.

The Legacy of Dale Hawerchuk

Drafted first overall in 1981, he took the city of Winnipeg and the league by storm. Hawerchuk was a five-time All-Star and represented Canada in multiple international tournaments, including the 1987 Canada Cup. After retiring, he coached the Barrie Colts in the OHL for over a decade.

In addition to his impressive resume on the ice, Hawerchuk’s philanthropic efforts were an integral part of his legacy. He supported numerous charities, including cancer research, children’s hospitals, and local community initiatives. His dedication to giving back inspired others, and he was deeply respected for the way he used his platform to create positive change. Hawerchuk believed that being a great player also meant being a great person off the ice, and his contributions to various causes reflected his commitment to improving the lives of others,
leaving a lasting impact beyond hockey. His family is continuing his legacy through the efforts of Hawerchuk Strong. It would not be possible without your generous support. Thank you for making an impact.

“Dale Hawerchuk put Winnipeg and the Jets on the map the day he arrived and the mutual love and respect he developed with our fans and the entire community is unlike any in the history of this franchise. But it would be a mistake to think that is all due to his Hall of Fame career. Rather, it is the result of his genuine humility and the grace by which he has always carried himself. Dale is simply one of the finest human beings that just also happened to be a superstar and the Winnipeg Jets could not be more proud to call him one of our own.
Mark Chipman | Owner & Chairman | Winnipeg Jets Hockey Club
