Tyler McGregor

Captain of Canada’s national Para ice hockey team since 2019, Tyler McGregor is regarded as one of the best players in the world. A 3-time Paralympian, McGregor helped Canada capture silver at the 2018 winter games and bronze at the 2014 winter games. In addition to his Olympic success, McGregor is a 2-time world champion and three-time worlds silver medallist.  Tyler, like many Canadian boys, grew up with dreams of one day playing in the National Hockey League. Following a leg injury in a hockey tournament, it was discovered that Tyler had Spindle Cell Sarcoma, a form of cancer that would result in Tyler’s left leg needing to be amputated to save his life. Rather than giving up on his hockey dreams, Tyler began to play sledge hockey, quickly emerging as a national star. His resilience, perseverance and determination through unfortunate circumstances are what have led him to be the leader and competitor he is today.  Now, Tyler uses his own story to lead the charge for inclusion in hockey, and sport, both across Canada and globally.
