Tyson Giuriato was the Director of Media and Communications for the Canadian Sport School Hockey League (CSSHL) when he passed away unexpectedly in 2020.
A lifelong hockey fan, Tyson attended youth hockey camps, played for Vancouver Island Amateur Hockey Association teams, and trained at the Banff Hockey Academy before establishing himself as a journalist, writing for both Hockey Canada and his beloved Vancouver Canucks. Outside of work, he enjoyed his boxer dogs, road trips, camping, barbecuing, fishing, and sports. Joining the CSSHL in 2013, Tyson made an immediate impact with his knowledge of the game, engagement with student-athletes, and tracking of alumni success. As Director, he was responsible for social media, press releases, and publicity, playing a pivotal role in growing the league across Canada.
In honour of Tyson’s passion and contributions to the game of hockey, his family and the CSSHL established the annual Tyson Giuriato Hockey Camp Scholarship. Every year, the scholarship awards six families $600 each to send their child to a hockey camp of their choice.
