              <text>0:15(Buzzer noise) Good work, I saw you hustling down the boards&#13;
0:18over there. Good work, good job out there&#13;
0:21Want some knuckles? Oh yeah, Oh yeah, Oh yeah AISHAH SHERI: P-A-H-L ProAction Hockey League&#13;
0:25started six years ago. Initially, the program started because we wanted to have the police&#13;
0:32officers integrate with the community. So it started as a grassroots movement. Initially&#13;
0:38we had 69 boys. In the last six years our program has gone from 69 players to now over&#13;
0:48135 with 100 on the waiting list. From 0 per cent female ratio to now over 35 per cent&#13;
0:55and growing. CONSTABLE DAVE BESCO: I love hockey. I grew&#13;
0:55up playing hockey. And among these kids there is a great desire to play hockey. And if it&#13;
1:00wasn't for this program they would never think about playing hockey. The affordability is&#13;
1:04just not there in this community. It's a low income neighbourhood and we're providing equipment,&#13;
1:11coaching, you name it, we're providing everything. When they first start, they don't have that&#13;
1:16confidence, they're afraid to go on the ice. It's intimidating trying to skate on two edges&#13;
1:22that you're used to walking on your feet. And you've never done it before and you're&#13;
1:25out there with 130 kids and you're trying to learn how to skate. And by the time the&#13;
1:30games are starting -- it's a fast-paced game -- they're confidence level is through the&#13;
1:34roof and a smile on their face the whole time. CONSTABLE STEVE HANKS: It's hockey. I'm a&#13;
1:39Canadian boy. I grew up playing this game so it's just an honour to be able to be on&#13;
1:47my skates and during a shift and helping out the kids and teaching them the game that I&#13;
1:56grew up loving. BESCO: I worked other units and elsewhere&#13;
2:01at 54 Division and never have I seen work with the community in this aspect before.&#13;
2:06BIBI AISHAH: I like playing it because you work as a team and makes goals and I like&#13;
2:11the skating part. RUFINA ABDURUSUL: I feel happy every time&#13;
2:18we score and everybody is cheering and I feel so happy because we're really working together&#13;
2:26and we're trying our best. We're improving a lot.&#13;
2:29SALMAH SHAIKH: It was last game and everyone was all in a circle and I just took the puck&#13;
2:37and shot. INTERVIEWER: And you scored?&#13;
2:40SHAIKH: Yeah. BESCO: Here we give them a positive, and sometimes&#13;
2:45it is their first interaction with police, and it's a positive one and that's what we&#13;
2:48want. NAZERAH SHAIKH: Having the police officers&#13;
2:52as the coaches and as the mentors, I think for me, I saw that when Salma, Salma's my&#13;
2:58daughter and she's on the 10-year-old team. And she says 'I have the best coach' and then&#13;
3:04I talk to my niece who is on another team and she says 'No, I have the best coach.'&#13;
3:08So they're going at it and they both know that the coaches are all police&#13;
3:12SHAIKH: My coaches are very fun. Inside the locker room, they tie my laces, they help&#13;
3:20us put on all our stuff. And even if you're late they, like, quickly do your stuff and&#13;
3:26they like teamwork. You just do it together. MUHAMMAD BASEER: My coach sometimes makes&#13;
3:32us laugh whenever we lose. SHAIKH: In our culture the police are portrayed&#13;
3:38as people of power, you know, people of position. But I think when they show that people of&#13;
3:42power and position can use that to benefit the entire community, it becomes, they become&#13;
3:49more approachable and more real people. You see the softer side to law enforcement, I&#13;
3:55think. SHERI: On our sixth year, the integration&#13;
3:58between the community and police officers is outstanding. Even after our program is&#13;
4:03finished, we have community, people coming up to both staff as well as Toronto Police&#13;
4:10Service 54 Division and interacting with them out in day-to-day society. We have our players&#13;
4:16saying 'Hi, how are you... you were my coach, do you remember me?'. So that integration&#13;
4:20level is huge and it shows volumes for our program.&#13;
4:25BESCO: It's changed my view of the community as well and they teach me things as well as</text>
