The partnership will be celebrated during tomorrow’s (Saturday) home game at Masich Place Stadium against the Langley Rams at 6pm.

“This partnership is about more than football — it’s about investing in people,” said Cindy Heitman, President of CNC.

“The Kodiaks inspire young athletes to work hard, lead with integrity, and support one another. At CNC, we share those values and want to help create pathways for players to succeed both on and off the field.”

In addition, CNC will provide tuition support for Kodiaks players, work with the club on joint recruitment campaigns, and offer practical learning experiences including kinesiology placements.

“Partnering with CNC empowers our players to turn goals into achievements—on the field, in the classroom, and in life,” said Kodiaks President, Craig Briere.

“Together, we’re building lasting pathways for success that will strengthen our team, inspire our athletes, and create a positive impact across Prince George.”
