1616.org 1.0.12

Enhance your young athlete's hockey experience through 1616, an initiative developed by the Ladd Foundation, a registered charitable organization in Canada and the United States, founded by two-time Stanley Cup Champion Andrew Ladd and his wife Brandy. This program offers free, virtually accessible content featuring insights from professional hockey players, designed to teach principles rooted in positive mental health and personal development.

Throughout the season, 1616 serves as a valuable resource for players aged 10 to 12, along with their caregivers and coaches, aiming to support growth both on and off the ice. Interested parties can visit 1616.org to register and download the app to become part of the 1616 community.

The platform aims to elevate the youth hockey experience while emphasizing character development in an engaging manner. Specifically tailored for players in the U11 to U13 age brackets, the app includes multiple features to facilitate team collaboration and individual progress.

• Switch between Teams: Coaches and caregivers can easily navigate between different team profiles.
• Interactive Drills & Progress Tracking: Players have access to weekly drills, complete challenges, and monitor their personal development through structured lessons. As they advance, they earn badges that promote a fun and motivating environment.
• Caregiver and Coach Engagement: The app fosters participation from adults in players’ lives by offering weekly check-ins and reflection prompts, supporting ongoing guidance and encouragement.

Designed to foster connection, character, confidence, and competence—the four C's—the 1616 app aims to cultivate both athletic skills and personal growth. By joining the 1616 community, players and their supporters can embark on a developmental journey that combines sport with lifelong values.
