On the ice, on the field, in the classroom or in your community.
what is it?
We may not know who needs a hand, but we all have a hand to give.
The Shoulder Check is a simple way to let your teammates know you’re there for them. Join in alongside a growing list of teams from the NHL, PWHL, AHL, and players from local leagues and organizations across the country who have already made the Shoulder Check Commitment.

Add the Shoulder Check badge to your website or social handles to let everyone know you are a part of it!
getting started
Your player kits will be accompanied by a short script to use to help your teams make the commitment together. Kick it off at your first practice and then again at your first game with your opponents and everyone there to cheer you on.
It’s as simple as standing in a circle and putting hands on each other’s shoulders, just like the pros have done and thousands of others as well. See it in action at @theshouldercheck on Instagram.
