Recreation Programs Inspired by his son Zane who quickly switched interest from hockey to lacrosse once introduced to it, Chad set out to make a difference in his community. “I took notice in the skill, stick handling, physical play and of course the team work. As time went on I learned that it is more than a game. Created by the Indigenous people in eastern Canada and USA, the Creator’s game had a purpose and it is to heal and to give thanks to the Creator. Which is important to me on a daily basis. Giving thanks to our creator and helping others. Now I can do both through the game of lacrosse.”-Coach Chad. Ravens Lacrosse Association nominated Chad Chief Moon for the Indigenous Philanthropist Award 2021 for the positive impact he's had on the indigenous community through coaching and recruiting.
