First Nations girls suit up with donated gear for newly formed hockey team

Emma Tworzyanski had no idea that a project for her Grade 12 sports management class would land her nearly 2,000 kilometres away from home and create the foundation for the first-ever girls hockey team in Eabametoong First Nation in northern Ontario.

The 17-year-old collected 45 hockey bags and five boxes full of donated hockey equipment in arenas near her home in Markham, Ont., and arranged to have them shipped to the fly-in community where her dad, an engineer, has travelled for work.
