The Ted Nolan Foundation would like to thank the city of Moncton and its surrounding area for their warm hospitality and generous support during our stay.

Former Moncton Wildcats coach Ted Nolan received a hero’s welcome yesterday in Metro yesterday.
He was honoured at a luncheon that raised over $50,000 for his charitable foundation, which provides scholarships to aboriginal women who want to make a difference in the world.
A full house of local business leaders, mayors, politicians and aboriginal leaders gathered at the Delta Beauséjour Hotel for the $75-a-plate dinner that included an auction of hockey jerseys autographed by former Wildcats, and NHL stars like Mario Lemieux and Sidney Crosby. The auction alone brought in over $11,000, with all funds going to the Ted Nolan Foundation.
The scholarship program is named for Nolan’s mother, Rose, who was killed by a drunk driver in 1981. They are awarded each year to aboriginal women who want to better themselves. Recipients of the awards have gone on to earn their degrees and careers giving back to their communities in such professions as doctors, speech pathologists, teachers and lawyers. [Continue Reading]

Participants will also have the opportunity to hear how to treat others through the Teachings of the Seven Grandfathers explained by Aboriginal leaders. [Continue Reading]

Moncton Wildcats owner Robert Irving gained more than a head coach when he hired Ted Nolan. He also gained a close friend.
Nolan spent just one season in Moncton, but took on celebrity status here as the bench boss who led the Wildcats to their first Quebec Major Junior Hockey League championship in 2005-06.
Nolan is looking to make a different kind of impact as he prepares to return to Moncton. The Ted Nolan Foundation will hold its second annual general meeting here this week and that includes a noon luncheon tomorrow at the Delta Beausejour Hotel.
“Ted’s leadership in the Aboriginal community is clearly looked upon in a very strong way,” said Irving. “He’s very dedicated through his foundation to helping Aboriginal youth and women try to better themselves in life. [Continue Reading]
