As Vice President of Hockey Operations for the Juan de Fuca Minor Hockey Association, Ian Taylor has seen firsthand the meaningful impact Sport Assist has on local families and communities. Through Sport Assist’s generosity and support, many children have been able to stay on the ice and continue playing the sport they love during challenging times.
Ian has always believed that every child deserves the opportunity to participate in organized sport. He understands that sport offers much more than competition — it gives children a place to belong, a chance to be part of a team, and an opportunity to learn valuable lessons about effort, sportsmanship, resilience, and pride.
Through his work in minor hockey, Ian has witnessed how powerful it can be when a child is given the chance to play, grow, and feel included. He believes organized sport helps children develop life skills that stay with them far beyond the game. Ian is proud to be part of Sport Assist and its mission to ensure that financial barriers do not prevent children from experiencing the lifelong benefits of sport.
