Indigenous Impact and Legacy Award
Charles Ghostkeeper – Northern British Columbia
Charles Ghostkeeper is this year’s recipient of BC Hockey’s Indigenous Impact and Legacy Award. Charles’ life was dedicated to his family, sport and to providing Indigenous children the opportunity to play and experience sport. Charles did whatever was necessary, whether it was arranging a tournament, volunteering, coaching, driving, taking kids for a hamburger post game and even paying out of his own pocket to help. He was a beacon of opportunity for his community and for so many children across northern BC.
Sadly, this award is being presented posthumously as Charles passed away in 2012. His enduring legacy lives on to this day. We pass this award and our congratulations onto the entire Ghostkeeper family.
BC Hockey’s Ryan Sinclair has written a wonderful piece on Charles that Is available here.
