DEVELOPING COMMUNITIES & INDIVIDUALS THROUGH SPORT
The Maplesoft Hawks Non-Profit AAA Hockey Organization: is proudly sponsored by Maplesoft Group because both organizations share a commitment to giving back to the community. By supporting these elite AAA spring girls' and boys' teams, Maplesoft Group not only helps nurture young talent and foster athletic excellence in Ottawa but also invests in the future of local youth. The partnership aligns Maplesoft Group with their prestigious and well-respected program, enhancing brand visibility while demonstrating corporate social responsibility and community involvement.
Purpose: It is no secret that participation in high-performance sports teaches valuable life skills that cannot be learned in the classroom. This is why Maplesoft Group is proud to devote a significant amount of time and resources to the Maplesoft Hawks hockey program which features boys' and girls' spring AAA hockey teams, along with specialized skill development camps and clinics that run year-round. To elevate these programs, Maplesoft has partnered with former NHL player Brad Brown, whose expertise and passion for giving back to the community play a key role in their success.
BOYS & GIRLS SPRING AAA
The cornerstone of the Maplesoft Hawks Hockey Organization is our boys' and girls' spring AAA hockey teams, which have enjoyed remarkable success over the years, securing numerous championships at the top spring tournaments across North America.
In addition to fostering athletic excellence, we are committed to supporting the families of elite athletes by helping to offset the growing costs associated with participating in the Maplesoft Hawks spring AAA program. We achieve this by providing the following items at no cost:
- Home and away jerseys
- Home and away socks
- Custom pant shells
- Player insurance
- Coaches tracksuits
OUR PROGRAM INSTRUCTORS:
SHEAN DONOVAN:
A very familiar face to hockey fans in Ottawa, Shean was just shy of 1000 games in the NHL with Colorado, Atlanta, Pittsburg, Calgary, Boston and most notably your Ottawa Senators. An absolute specialist when it comes to breaking down and teaching the basics of skating. Shean was one of the fastest players in the National Hockey League and we are very lucky to have him as one of our head instructors.
BRAD BROWN:
Brad was drafted 18th overall by the Montreal Canadiens and continued his 8 year NHL career as a stay at home defenceman with the Chicago
Blackhawks, New York Rangers, Buffalo Sabres and the Minnesota Wild where he served as Captain. His leadership skills and passion for the
game make him a great role model on and off the ice. He is eager to pass on what he has learned through his experience as a professional
hockey player.
MATT BRADLEY:
Matt Bradley was drafted in the fourth round by the San Jose Sharks and has had an 11 year career, with 675 games played in the NHL for San Jose, Pittsburgh, Washington and Florida.
