This week at Beauties Sports, Addie and Cowie sit down with Alicia Souvney, member of the Canadian Women's Para Ice Hockey Team.

Alicia has been able to turn tragedy into triumph. After suffering life threatening injuries, and losing her leg as a result, Alicia has battled through adversity to return to sport and now represents our country on the National Para Ice Hockey Team. 

One of the most significant contributions to Alicia's recovery came in the form of blood donations. The hockey community that she and her partner Matt are involved in rallied around them in their greatest time of need. Today's podcast is really about celebrating the community that has been fostered around Alicia, and continuing to grow the support of blood donations throughout our hockey community and greater sports community as a whole. 

Alicia is the first para ice hockey athlete to be a hockey gives blood ambassador. So today, we challenge you the listener to take part in this great initiative. You too can save a life, and your non-monetary donation of blood goes further than you might believe. If you're unable to donate blood, we encourage you to consider a monetary donation in support of Step Up With Alicia, Hockey Gives Blood or by purchasing a hat from We Are CDN in support of HGB.

We are forever grateful for guests like Alicia for sharing their story with us and you beauties. Alicia, thank you for your continued efforts towards this life saving cause. We stand united along side you to share your voice in support of Hockey Gives Blood and the Women's Para Ice Hockey community.
