February Is Talk Today Month in the Ontario Hockey League
Published on January 31, 2025 under Ontario Hockey League (OHL) News Release
Toronto, ON - The Ontario Hockey League is excited to announce another Talk Today Month in the OHL as the calendar turns from January to February this weekend.
Proudly presented by Syngenta Canada and Grain Farmers of Ontario, Talk Today Month sees all 20 OHL member teams host mental health awareness games in collaboration with CMHA branches. The game day experience will have several features that will serve to promote the importance of mental health, including:
A CMHA-run kiosk on the concourse where fans can learn more about mental health and the organization's community-based services
A ceremonial puck drop and photo opportunity with local CMHA branches
Videos featuring OHL players talking about the importance of mental health in their day-to-day experience
Public service announcements about mental health and the Canadian Mental Health Association
A CMHA fundraising component
Originally launched by CMHA Ontario in partnership with the OHL in 2014, Talk Today provides an important opportunity to address the mental health needs of athletes across Canada.
The key piece of the Talk Today program has been to educate players about mental health and suicide prevention. Each team is also linked to a CMHA mental health coach, who provides support and mental health resources to individuals in need.
