Danica Maynard
MNBC is proud to be a part of Danica Maynard's hockey journey and see this talented Métis athlete's hard work pay off! Following Canada's win at the 2025 IIHF U18 Women's World Hockey Championship. Here is a small quote from Danica Maynard regarding her journey “As a Métis woman in sport, I am proud to represent and speak of our culture on a big stage. I was invited to share my experience and journey to the Federal Commissioner of Sports and other Government Official. This allowed me to speak on behalf of all Métis athletes how a supportive community can empower an athlete like me. This motivates me to continue to strive for excellence at the next stage of my journey, knowing that I am supported by such a strong and caring Métis community.”
