This mental health awareness game is part of the Ottawa 67's ongoing partnership with CMHA Ottawa and its Talk Today program. Originally launched by CMHA Ontario in partnership with the Ontario Hockey League in 2014, Talk Today provides an important opportunity to address the mental health needs of athletes across Canada.

Through this program, more than 2,500 OHL players and 550 coaches, billets and staff have received mental health and suicide prevention training across the league. 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.

"Mental health is a key part of athletic performance and overall well-being," said Dr. Susan Farrell, CEO of CMHA Ottawa. "Through our valued partnership with the Ottawa 67's and Talk Today, we're helping normalize vital conversations about mental health -- not only for athletes, but for fans, families, and the broader community who see sport as a powerful force for connection and change."

"Supporting mental health, both on and off the ice, is crucial for our organization," said Adrian Sciarra, President of the Ottawa 67's. "We're proud to continue our partnership with CMHA Ottawa and the Talk Todayprogram, using our platform to raise awareness, reduce stigma, and ensure that fans, players, and families know help is always accessible."

Tickets for the game are still available, starting from $25. For ticket information, contact boxoffice@tdplace.ca.
