Join us at Collingwood’s Simcoe Street Theatre for the premiere of It’s Been a Long Time Coming, a 23-minute documentary directed by Toronto Metropolitan University students Emma May Beckett and Rylee Cawthorne.

This inspiring film highlights the journey of the Toronto Leaside Wildcats, one of Ontario’s most prominent female hockey associations, and celebrates the groundbreaking progress made by the PWHL in creating opportunities for females to pursue their hockey dreams in a professional setting. Through the voices of players, coaches, parents, and key figures, It’s Been a Long Time Coming shares powerful stories of resilience and achievement on and off the ice.

This event is in support of Emma’s former hockey association, the Collingwood Lightning. Show your pride by wearing your jersey and backing Collingwood’s vibrant female hockey community. Celebrate the voices, achievements, and dreams that are shaping the future of female sports.
