This branded initiative challenges Canadian minor hockey teams to perform acts of kindness. Canadian U10 to U15 minor hockey teams, as well as any Canadian resident aged 13 or older supporting a team, are eligible to participate. Their Good Dees can be submitted to Chevrolet from January 17 to March 6, 2025. These are uploaded on a live leaderboard. The minor hockey team with the most good deeds will be "crowned the new Chevrolet Good Deeds Cup champions" and will be able to decide which Canadian charity will receive the grand prize of $100,000. This year, Chevrolet ups the stakes by introducing a second and third space, with donations of $20,000 and $10,000 respectively.
