CP24 interviewed Andrew Adair on 14 February 2026, a month before the March break camp at Ted Reeve Community Arena. The station summarized his argument in a single line: removing the financial barrier is what brings more children to the sport.

It was the first of two CP24 segments on Open Ice Initiative. The second was filmed at the rink itself in March, on the opening day of the camp.

This was also the first citywide broadcast coverage the program received, and applications rose in the weeks after it aired.

Removing financial barriers is what brings more children to the sport.
