Jessica is a fighter - help share her story.
A person in a green and white jersey smiling with a blue and white backdrop. Text overlay reads, "Not many 27-year-old baristas make the TRANSition to pro hockey."

Early mornings, constant drills, blocked shots, and bruises.

For the first 18 years, hockey was Jessica’s life. Until it wasn’t.

 

Jessica had to rediscover who she was. She thought her dream was dead. 

 

But she’s a fighter. 

 

She worked twice as hard, and grinded every day. Seven years later, Jessica got drafted, turned pro, and did something no one had ever done before.

 

But to some people, she’s just trans.

 

Only one in three Canadians say they know someone who is trans, and polling found that when someone knew a trans person, they were likely to support harmful policies and legislation. This is why representation and sharing stories like Jessica’s is more important than ever.

 

This Pride Season, take a stand.
