My 18th Movember campaign carries a deep, personal meaning, close to home. I’m dedicating my efforts to a very special young man and dear family friend, Harrison Yoshy, who tragically lost his battle with brain cancer at just 9 years old.

Harrison was everything you could hope for in a young boy. A passionate athlete, a hockey player, a teammate, a friend, and most importantly, a deeply loved son and family member. Proudly wearing #14, Harrison had an incredible passion for the game and a bright future ahead of him. In late December 2025, following a fall at hockey practice and some concerning symptoms, Harrison and his family received news that no family should ever have to hear. He was diagnosed with Diffuse Midline Glioma (DMG), a rare and devastatingly aggressive form of brain cancer.

In an instant, life changed forever.

As a father, a hockey coach, and someone who has had the privilege of knowing Harrison and his family, this loss hits incredibly close to home. It’s a heartbreaking reminder of just how precious life is and how quickly everything can change. No child should have to fight cancer. No parent should have to say goodbye to their child.

This Movember, I’m growing a moustache for more than just a good cause. I’m growing it for Harrison, for his family, and for every family whose world has been turned upside down by cancer. While Movember traditionally focuses on men’s health, this year I want to use my campaign to honour a young boy whose life, courage, and love of sport deserve to be remembered.
