Sports have the power to change the world. They inspire us, unite us, and bring hope to the most challenging situations.

We hold the firm belief that programs uniting young athletes from diverse countries can profoundly contribute to fostering greater understanding, respect, and appreciation among nations. Such initiatives are essential for strengthening international bonds and forging connections between cultures. Through participation in this youth hockey exchange, Ukrainian and American youth athletes have the unique opportunity to engage with one another, share their life experiences, and gain insight into different ways of living.

This program, organized by LECOM Sports Park, took place from July 24, 2024, to July 19, 2024, featuring a series of games and training sessions throughout its duration. Thanks to the generous support of our sponsors, we are able to cover the expenses for these young athletes, many of whom have been displaced from their homes due to the ongoing conflict.

We firmly believe that promoting cultural exchange and international friendship through sports serves as a potent means of building a more peaceful, tolerant, and harmonious world. Together, we can contribute to a more interconnected and empathetic world where young people can flourish, learn, and thrive side by side.
