Hockey Education Reaching Out Society (HEROS) takes place at Moss Park Arena and involves children from many schools in Regent Park. HEROS is a charitable organization dedicated to empowering children through ice hockey. The organization works with girls and boys in socio-economically challenged neighborhoods that otherwise might not have an opportunity to play organized hockey.
