For over 40 years, Herbert Carnegie has been a mentor and tireless community activist. One of the most promising hockey players of his era, he never had the opportunity to turn professional due to the racial barriers of the time. Finding inspiration in disappointment, he redirected his energies to become a successful businessman and financial planner. Opening the first hockey school in Canada, he wrote The Future Aces Creed to encourage, inspire and guide young people. In 1987, he established the Herbert H. Carnegie Future Aces Foundation to provide scholarships for young civic-minded students.
