Myles Mattila is celebrating the completion of his Grade 12 exams. The 18-year-old graduat- ed from high school in Prince George this year, but unlike some other teens his age, he won’t be relaxing at the lake all summer. That’s because Mattila is a big deal in British Columbia’s hockey world, for more than just his skills on the ice. He’s worked hard to get where he is, and the summer won’t see an end to that. The Quesnel native played for the Prince George Cariboo Cou- gars this season, and was signed to the Kelowna Chiefs for the
2017/18 season.
He recently won the BC Hockey
Chair of the Board Award, which recognizes an “individual, team or league that has brought hon- our to amateur hockey through an outstanding humanitarian endeavour.”
To that end, Mattila has been an outspoken advocate for men- tal health, having founded Mind- Right.info – the Cariboo Cou- gars’ support program that aims to increase awareness for mental health – in 2016, and having been a spokesperson for mental health awareness website Mindcheck.ca since 2015.
For these reasons, you may have heard of Mattila. Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau certainly has.
On June 28, Prime Minister Trudeau tweeted: “A young player making a difference – con- gratulations @myles_mattila12 on your @BCHockey_Source award for promoting youth men- tal health.”
Mattila got the tweet while he was with his family. They were ecstatic.
“I was shocked.... I thought about it and I’m like, ‘Wow, that is amazing that Justin recognized me for what I’m doing with men- tal health.’”
Strong of mind
Mattila is a tireless promoter of mental-health initiatives.
He got involved after watching a teammate struggle.
“I had a close friend who played hockey, we were like the dynamic duo – we fed off each other for positive energy. It sud-

denly stopped, and he isolated himself from me and the team.
“He told me about how he was sad all the time, had highs and lows but didn’t know why. It was hard, seeing a teammate go through that and not know what it was.”
After his teammate sought help, Mattila saw an article in The Province about Mindcheck. ca and decided to get involved, but he wasn’t accepted to the cause quite that easily.
“I got shut down for promot- ing mental health, with people saying I was too young, that I didn’t know enough. But people seeing a person my age... it got my peers’ attention when I went to speak at schools.”
Mattila persevered.
“If you network with the right people, you can achieve your goals.”
BC Hockey board chair Randy Henderson says he is examining ways to promote Mattila’s work across his organization.
“Myles’ efforts are a result of compassion for fellow teammates and expanded to players every- where.
“Myles epitomizes why thou- sands of volunteers across BC Hockey donate so much time to the game. Hockey, from my perspective, is the conduit to pro-
duce great citizens, and Myles demonstrates what a good citizen does: he gives selflessly for a great many others.”
At BC Hockey’s annual general meeting in Sun Peaks in early June, Mattila’s MindRight ini- tiative was highlighted to 92 minor hockey associations in attendance.
Mattila was honoured to re- ceive the BC Hockey award, and was pleased Henderson was in- terested in rolling out MindRight and other mental-health initia- tives to other associations.
“Its nice to be recognized for what I’m doing. It’s nice to know people are hearing my message. A few years ago, it was very dif- ficult. No one wanted to talk about the subject.
“It’s getting better, but we have a long way to go to raise awareness.” Mattila’s move to Kelowna brings new challenges for his humanitarian work. He has part- nered with the Canadian Men- tal Health Association (CMHA) in Kelowna, and hopes to work with Foundry, a youth wellness organization supported by the provincial government that is opening a facility in Kelowna at the end of the summer, as well
as four others province-wide. Foundry Kelowna will have 25 agencies operating under one
roof, so young people can access all the services they need without bouncing around – and poten- tially getting lost – in the system.
Leah Lockhart, Foundry’s lead for communication, says Found- ry is delighted Myles is willing to get involved.
“It’s great to see a lot of young people coming forward to be a part of Foundry; our goal has been to build a robust youth network.
“Foundry is thrilled that Myles is enthusiastic and that he reached out.”
Top of his class
Come September, Mattila will be playing hockey, working on his mental-health initiatives and attending Okanagan College to get a degree in business.
The 18-year-old says he initially planned to attend The University of British Columbia’s Okanagan branch (UBCO) after being ac- cepted to the civil engineering program, but decided to switch to Okanagan College to give himself more time for hockey.
“I’m going to Okanagan Col- lege as they are more flexible with the hockey season. I was accept- ed to UBCO, but you need to be a full-time student. At Okana- gan College, I can have a light- er schedule in the first semester and then heavier in the second.

That’ll help me excel in hockey and in school.”
It’ll also give him more time for his humanitarian work.
“In the week days I’ll be pro- moting mental health, too.”
He chose to sign with the Kelowna Chiefs, a member of the Kootenay International Junior Hockey League (KIJHL) and a Junior B hockey team, even after a few others expressed interest in signing him. He says Kelowna was the right fit.
“I’ve got everything in one in Kelowna. My family is living here, I get to go to school, I’m hoping to partner with Foundry. Junior B has fewer games and not as harsh a schedule.”
Mattila says he did some soul searching this year, knowing his time in the BC Major Midget League was coming to an end.
“I took some time to decide if I wanted to play Junior A and take a year or two off school, but I want to keep my options open and keep busy with school. I don’t want to fall behind. If something happened or if I got injured, this way I have a back-up plan.”
It’s a well-thought-out move from the 18-year-old, but every- thing in Mattila’s hockey career so far shows he’s nothing if not conscientious.
Hockey’s Myles Mattila, continued
The accomplished hockey player and honour-roll student won numerous scholar- ships as he finished out his Grade 12 year, and he says he’ll be putting them to good use.
“It’s a great honour, and helps me pay my tuition. So instead of working this summer, I have more time to collaborate and make connections with peo- ple in mental health.”
Mattila says he knows there are other players on the Chiefs who take classes, so he won’t be alone. He hopes to eventually qualify as a lawyer, although he’d be interested in play- ing hockey at a higher level, too.
“My plan is to play a few years in the Junior B league while going
‘We still have a long way to go to raise awareness’

to school. If I get a scholarship down to the States, I could go that route, or head to UBC [for hockey and academics] if that doesn’t pan out.”
As a member of the Kelowna Chiefs, Mat- tila will play a game in Quesnel this February, against rival KIJHL team the Kamloops Storm. The Storm is hosting six of its
2017/18 season games at the new West Fraser Centre, in an effort to promote Quesnel’s bid to have its own team.
“It’s exciting, espe- cially with the new hockey arena. I still have lots of connec- tions in Quesnel.
“It’s really important for Quesnel to show the league they need a hockey team back because Quesnel is a strong community.”
Next stop: the world
Now that he’s captured the Canadian audi- ence, attracting atten- tion from the Prime Minister, Mattila has his sights set on the international scene.
He applied for a bur- sary to attend a men- tal-health conference in Dublin, Ireland,
which takes place in September.
“It’s a mental-health summit. I want to go and share my ideas and what I’ve done with MindRight, and network for mental health.”
Mattila’s experience organizing Prince George’s Balancing Our Minds Youth Summit, which took place at the end of May, gives him some background with such events. The springtime summit saw students come from all over the province to inter- act with other youth, teachers, supervi- sors and counsellors around the topic of mental health.
“It was inspiring how many students came out, there were
some all the way from McBride.
“We even had a Bal- ancing Our Minds rep- resentative come from Vancouver to check it out. He said [our event] was up there as being one of the best in the province. We were pretty proud.”
And proud he should be. Mattila manages to spin many plates in the air with seemingly lit- tle effort.
But what about his social life? How does Mattila relax?
“That comes with hockey, and between other things. I like to have a well-rounded approach and focus on everything equally.
“I want to show that it’s possible to play a sport, go to school and promote an initiative.”

So far, so good for the Cariboo Cougars. The TELUS Cup hosts took care of the first part of their business on the long road to Canada’s National Midget Championship, winning their last seven games to edge the Vancouver NE Chiefs by two points atop the BCMML standings. The 34-5-0-1 record was the best-ever for the Cougars, and put Cariboo in first place for just the second time in the last decade. The Cougars also set franchise records at both ends of the rink, scoring 214 goals while allowing just 75; both numbers led the league, and the goals-against total is the second-best in league history, behind only the 66 allowed by Vancouver NW in 2011-12. Daine Dubois set the pace among Cariboo forwards, co-leading the league in scoring with 67 points (27G 40A), while Jeremy Gervais finished with 49 points (15G 34A) to top all BCMML blue-liners. In goal, Zack Wickson (16-3-0) and Marcus Allen (18-2-1) shared the duties, finishing one-three in goals-against average at 1.70 and 2.01, respectively.

MindRight Launch - Dinner
Dave Hunchak - Professional Hockey Coach, General Manager, Scout, Video Analyst,
Analytics Specialists
Dave has been involved in sports for his entire life both competing as an athlete as well as coaching at the world level. Playing competitvley in hockey and fastball, his resume includes 3 world titles, 9 Canadian championships, and 13 provincial championships. Unfortunately, injuries halted his journey to his ultimate goal of playing in the NHL. But his passion and love for hockey and the constant yearning to be a part of a "team" lead him to coaching for over the past 21 years.
As a player, Dave was always a captain and was relied upon to provide leadership for his team mates and be the conduit between players and coaches. He translated those skills into a very successful coaching career. He prides himself on his ability to provide leadership, accountability, and development. His unique communication skills and forward thinking allows him to excel in the "team" environment and values he believes in. "Team" building and conflict resolution are his strengths. But his biggest asset is motivating and guiding players to be not only good hockey players, but good people.
Diagnosed in 2014 with severe depression, anxiety, and OCD, he has been championing the movement for society to understand the difficulties of people suffering from and dealing with Mental Illness. In February of 2015, Dave went public with his challenges in an article with the Globe and Mail. Since the article came out, he has helped many people who struggle on a day to day basis with illness as well as people that are in a supportive role.
Dave's playing, coaching, and life experiences has given him the tools to provide very unique and interactive seminars and workshops. "I love the challenges that sport, business, and life present. Building unity and "team" first mindsets are critical to success. Roles need to be filled, development needs to be a focus, conflict's occur. There are so many dynamics that get overlooked when operating within a group dynamic. I always revert back to the foundation of what makes up a "team". The foundation are the people that make up the "team". Understand your players and what makes them unique."
Currently the Western Canada Head Scout for ISS scouting and Vice President with Core Five Analytics, Dave can always be found around "teams". Whether it's in a rink, on a ball diamond, or at lacrosse games, he is always relied upon as a leader and provider of understanding how to make it all come together.
Dave is an avid golfer and a self admitted "hack". He loves to spend time with his kids Alyssa 17 (at least on most days), and his son Brendan 13 (on the rest of the days.)

The Play On! program is about getting people from the community active and involved, it’s about bringing together a large group of people who have a passion for a Canadian pastime that most of us grew up playing. When done right, the buzz and excitement of a Play On! event can introduce thousands of new Canadians to the game of street hockey and rekindle the love of the game for many who haven’t scraped the pavement in years.
There are many pieces needed to help a Play On! event run successfully; staff, players, refs, community support, and volunteers are at the top of the list. Every year Play On! runs amazing events across wonderful communities and without the support of dedicated volunteers, the Play On! program wouldn’t be able to offer the street hockey experience that it does. Here in Kelowna, Play On! is always jam packed with amazing volunteers; some stick around the entire weekend, some are only available for a couple hours, but each and every one of them makes a difference and all of their hard work helps the tournament run smoothly.
That’s why the Play On! Kelowna team is so excited to announce a volunteer partnership with 16-year old Myles Mattila. Born and raised in British Columbia, Myles has been playing hockey since the age of 3; Myles has played hockey all over British Columbia and relocated to Kelowna last July and currently plays right wing for the BCMML Okanagan Rockets. While he and his Okanagan Rockets teammates are preparing a team for this year’s Play On! Kelowna event, this story isn’t about Myles the hockey player; it’s about Myles the volunteer. Myles reached out to Play On! a couple weeks ago inquiring about setting up a booth during the tournament weekend to help raise awareness for mental health, and after a few phone calls and emails, we finally got to meet.
Often times ideas are thrown around and they don’t quite match up or work out, but sometimes you meet with somebody and everything falls into place, I have a feeling that this happens almost every time Myles meets with an organization. Myles has a list of volunteer and community achievements a mile long; his list of achievements since his relocation to Kelowna is spectacular, and due to all of his hard work, Myles has been nominated for Young Male Volunteer of the Year.
Myles has worked with organizations such as
CMHA BC - www.cmha.bc.ca

and is always looking for an opportunity to help people start talking about mental health. If you have time on June 18-19, stop by Waterfront park in Downtown Kelowna and catch a game or two, watch Myles and his Rockets teammates take on adversaries from across the province, and take a minute or two to stop by Myles’ booth for chat; regardless of what you decide to talk about, it’s guaranteed to be good conversation.

I want all our players, coaches, parents, and supporters to know, is that there are always resources to help. They don’t have to suffer alone or in silence. If they are ever experiencing mental health issues such as depression, anxiety, or thoughts of suicide, there is always someone who they can reach out to. It may not be the first person who they contact, but if they know where to go that would be the first step in getting help. Sometimes they might not get the hand they hoped for, however they need to be persistent in talking to someone who they can trust. Speaking up and ending the stigma is not only important for those seeking help, but for those who are also suffering and feel like they don’t have a voice. Be the listening ear, when someone needs you because you never know if that someone could someday be you.

The thing that I would want all teenagers to know, is that there are always resources to help. They don’t have to suffer alone or in silence. If they are ever experiencing mental health issues such as depression, anxiety, or thoughts of suicide, there is always someone who they can reach out too. It may not be the first person who they contact, but if they know where to go that would be the first step in getting help.

We aim to provide accurate information and support with a compassionate approach. We are proud to work with the communities in Prince George, BC and the surrounding areas to help reduce the stigma surrounding mental illness. Our goal is that it will be recognized as important/vital to player health and development, and that the initiative will spread throughout the league in the coming years.

I want all our players, coaches, parents, and supporters to know, is that there are always resources to help. They don’t have to suffer alone or in silence. If they are ever experiencing mental health issues such as depression, anxiety, or thoughts of suicide, there is always someone who they can reach out to. It may not be the first person who they contact, but if they know where to go that would be the first step in getting help. Sometimes they might not get the hand they hoped for, however they need to be persistent in talking to someone who they can trust. Speaking up and ending the stigma is not only important for those seeking help, but for those who are also suffering and feel like they don’t have a voice. Be the listening ear, when someone needs you because you never know if that someone could someday be you.

The thing that I would want all teenagers to know, is that there are always resources to help. They don’t have to suffer alone or in silence. If they are ever experiencing mental health issues such as depression, anxiety, or thoughts of suicide, there is always someone who they can reach out too. It may not be the first person who they contact, but if they know where to go thatwould be the first step in getting help. Sometimes they might not get the hand they hoped for, however they need to be persistent in talking to someone who they can trust. Speaking up and ending the stigma is not only important for those seeking help, but for those who are also suffering and feel like they don’t have a voice. Be the listening ear, when someone needs you because you never know if that someone could someday be you.
