NHL Alumni Association and NDUR for Athletes Join Forces to Champion<\/strong>
\nStudent-Athlete Mental Wellness<\/strong><\/p>\n

May 2025 \u2014 Boston, MA & Toronto, ON \u2014 NDUR, a next-gen mental wellness platform
\nbuilt by athletes for athletes, is proud to announce a powerful new partnership with the
\nNHL Alumni Association (NHLAA). This groundbreaking alliance will bring the voice,
\nexperience, and influence of former NHL players directly into the conversation around
\nstudent-athlete mental health.<\/p>\n

United by a shared mission, NDUR and NHLAA will collaborate on initiatives that
\nsupport and empower student-athletes through peer-driven wellness tools, mentorship,
\nand authentic storytelling. The partnership is designed to not only raise awareness, but
\nalso to drive real changes in how mental wellness is approached in sports at the high
\nschool and collegiate level.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs a former professional agent and lifelong advocate for the next generation of
\nathletes, this partnership is incredibly meaningful,\u201d said Daren Orr, President of NDUR.
\n\u201cTo have the NHL Alumni Association in our corner shows just how serious the sports
\ncommunity is about reshaping the mental health conversation. Together, we\u2019re going to
\nmake sure student-athletes know they\u2019re never alone and that help, guidance, and real
\nsupport is always within reach.\u201d<\/p>\n

The action plan includes a strategic awareness campaign, co-branded content and
\nsocial strategy, alumni ambassador activations, and a national PSA effort featuring NHL
\nlegends. NDUR\u2019s platform will also serve as a bridge, connecting retired pros with the
\nstudent-athletes who look up to them, creating a lasting impact both on and off the ice.<\/p>\n

This mission is already being championed by NHL alumni like Ryan Malone and Kelly
\nHrudey, who are lending their voices and personal stories to support the next
\ngeneration.<\/p>\n

Ryan Malone\u2019s journey has given him much reflection to help focus on personal growth
\nand mental health advocacy. Through the Malone Family Foundation, he has been
\nactively involved in raising awareness about mental health issues and the positive
\nimpact of community support. \u201cI am very excited about our new partnership with NDUR
\nas it is another significant vehicle to bring awareness to the importance of mental health
\nand gives us the opportunity to mentor and support young athletes to provide a healthier
\ntomorrow for them,\u201d said Malone.<\/p>\n

Kelly Hrudey has been a passionate advocate for mental health awareness, often using
\nhis Hockey Night in Canada platform to speak openly about his own experiences. \u201cI
\nbelieve that sharing personal stories is one of the most effective ways to create
\nunderstanding about mental health. Our bright new partnership with NDUR will provide that platform to share our stories with young athletes and hopefully inspire them to be
\nmore open and talk about their challenges,\u201d Hrudey added.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is more than just a partnership, it\u2019s a movement,\u201d said Glenn Healy, Executive
\nDirector of the NHL Alumni Association. \u201cThe wellbeing of today\u2019s young athletes is
\nsomething we all need to invest in, and NDUR has built a platform that\u2019s ready to lead
\nthe charge. Our alumni are proud to stand behind this mission, to share their stories,
\nand to help make a real difference.\u201d<\/p>\n

The partnership will kick off with a series of digital campaigns and community
\nactivations, with more to come, including guest speaker series, in-person events, and
\nextended collaborations with leading mental health organizations.<\/p>\n
