Re-Purpose: A Movember Special 🍂

As we bid farewell to Movember, join us for a powerful and inspiring episode of Re-Purpose. We're honoured to have Hilton Ruggles, a true icon in the world of ice hockey, share his incredible journey with us.

Born and raised in Montreal, Hilton faced unique challenges as a black man in the predominantly white world of hockey. His story is one of resilience and determination, highlighting his remarkable career in the UK where he not only excelled in the sport but also formed unbreakable bonds with his teammates. Hockey was more than a game for Hilton; it was his purpose, his anchor.

In this candid conversation, Hilton opens up about his struggles with gambling, offering a raw and honest insight into the challenges he faced. More importantly, he shares the transformative power of asking for help, a step that set him on a path of recovery and personal growth.

Today, Hilton is not just a former athlete; he's a role model, instilling the same values his father imparted to him into his three children, nurturing the next generation with love, guidance, and the spirit of sportsmanship.
