"Carey Price will receive an honorary doctorate
PRINCE GEORGE – Carey Price, a world-renowned goaltender, role model for Indigenous youth, and philanthropist, will receive an honorary Doctor of Laws degree from the University of Northern British Columbia during the 2024 Convocation ceremony at the Prince George campus on May 31.
Price has an impressive list of achievements both on and off the ice. From a childhood spent in his home community of Anahim Lake through to his career as an award-winning goaltender for the National Hockey League's Montreal Canadiens and beyond, Price has inspired countless Canadians, fostered empowering community connections and become known for his tireless charitable efforts throughout northern B.C. and across the country. [...]
When the Canadiens presented Price with the Jean Beliveau Trophy for the 2013-2014 season in recognition of his charity work and community involvement, he acknowledged his wife Angela's contributions and leadership in their joint efforts to leverage and support positive change.
Price continues to actively make a difference in the lives of others, providing support to youth and youth sports programs in the region surrounding his home community through the Carey and Angela Price Foundation. He is a caring and engaging role model for Indigenous youth, encouraging them to be leaders and change agents."
