The Gord Downie & Chanie Wenjack Fund Goalie Mask

The Victoria Royals are supporting The Gord Downie & Chanie Wenjack Fund by auctioning a custom-painted goalie mask. The one-of-a-kind special mask is painted by Victoria artist Travis Michael, who has painted all Victoria Royals goalie masks since 2014. The mask pays tribute to Chanie Wenjack and reflects the story of The Secret Path.

Secret Path Week takes place annually from October 17-22, and is a national movement commemorating the legacies of both Gord Downie and Chanie Wenjack. The Secret Path is a graphic novel and film that tells the story of Chanie Wenjack, an Ojibway boy who died while running away from his residential school in October of 1966.

The Victoria Royals Hockey Club is a proud member of the Western Hockey League.
