Did you know Canada’s women’s national Para hockey team is not fully funded?

The players are hoping to change that with a campaign called #SticksIn — an initiative to raise funding from corporate sponsors.

???? It's here! Take a look at our official commercial for the Rogers All Initiative x #SticksIn Campaign.

The campaign amplifies the ongoing necessity for corporate backing, spotlights para hockey and the ongoing battle for equity experienced by athletes in the women's game. pic.twitter.com/N0c9Nz89nP
