Kishaun Gervais is a professional hockey player from Keeseekoose First Nation who currently plays in the ECHL and wants to prove to Indigenous youth if he can be successful they can too.

“When I was 18, my dad put it in my head that it’d be good to give back and go to different communities to speak on my experience of growing up on the reserve. I feel as a young Indigenous person who also grew up on the reserve, lived through that struggle and has had to go through the hardships that a lot of the kids do, I feel like it’s more relatable.
