Squires recognized for his community involvement

After announcing this year’s finalists earlier today, the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League has just announced the player who has been named Humanitarian of the Year.

Cam Squires of the Cape Breton Eagles is the 2022-2023 recipient of the community involvement award.

Squires, a sophomore with the Cape Breton Eagles, has not only put up impressive numbers on the ice this season, he’s also made a significant impact in his community. He selected the Boys & Girls Club of Cape Breton as his charity of choice and thus created the Squires Squad, which donated four season tickets to the youth-oriented, non-profit charity to allow families to attend Eagles games.

Squires has also volunteered his time at the club to provide mentorship, talk with the kids about their lives and goals, and even organized a ball hockey tournament to engage the youth.
