PRINCE GEORGE, BC- The Western Hockey League and RE/MAX are teaming up with local Canadian Mental Health Association (CMHA) branches to promote positive mental health through RE/MAX Presents: WHL Talk Today Game Nights, scheduled to run during the months of February and March across Western Canada.

The Prince George Cougars will host their RE/MAX Presents: WHL Talk Today Game Night on Friday, February 25th against the Portland Winterhawks. Fans will have the opportunity to learn about CMHA mental health resources available in Prince George in an effort to breakdown the stigma surrounding mental health.

"As they do every season, our longstanding corporate partner RE/MAX is giving back to WHL communities in Western Canada by putting positive mental health at the forefront," said WHL Commissioner Ron Robison. "Together with RE/MAX and the

Canadian Mental Health Association, we are pleased to deliver this important programming in support of positive mental health when so many Canadians are being impacted during these challenging times in this area."

The Northern B.C. branch of the CMHA will be raffling off a team-signed black Cougars jersey at the game on February 25th. All proceeds from the raffle will go to the Northern B.C. branch of the CMHA. Fans can donate to the CMHA by visiting Talktoday.ca/WHLdonate

Talk Today, delivered by CMHAs across the WHL, has become one of the most comprehensive mental health programs for amateur sports in Canada. Its aim is to promote the mental health of young athletes and to spread awareness about the benefits of positive mental health throughout communities across the country.

Since 2016, the WHL and its teams have partnered with CMHA branches across Western Canada to provide mental health education and support to all players, coaches, parents, billets, and team staff across the League. This program has become a valuable platform for CMHA branches, teams, and individual players to encourage open discussion about mental health within the hockey community and broader public.
