Future Aces Program

On his birthday In 2011, Herb Carnegie said, in a Toronto Star interview, "i will develop a positive attitude all people and my work."

These words formed the foundation of the Future Aces program. He began this program, in part, as a response to the racism he felt as a Hockey player. When he was denied the opportunity to have the opportunity to play for the Toronto Maple Leafs, he was not consumed by his anger. Herb Carnegie had a vision of how he thought people should treat one another.
