their very own and new charitable foundation named 'The Brave Foundation'. The purpose of the foundation is to raise awareness and assist people in need who are struggling with mental health issues, particularly PTSD and depression in young men. The Foundation was born out of terrible circumstance when the brother-in-law, Robbie, of former Brave captain Mark Rummukainen sadly took his own life after suffering from depression. Robbie was well known to the Brave management and players with the loss felt by the whole Brave community. Since inception, the foundation has raised money through a number of events including dinners with players and auctioning off match-worn hockey gear. The Brave Foundation spends the money raised on tangible achievements as opposed to handing money over to a charity and not knowing where it ends up. For example, putting people through a program called 'Accidental Councillor' or funding of additional telephones for Lifeline. The Foundation has formed strong connections with a number of reputable charities and services such as Lifeline, beyondblue and Soldier On. Ownership In 2014, the ACT community banded together to raise funds to keep AIHL hockey in Canberra following the demise of the Knights. Led by former Knights players, Mark Rummukainen and Jordie Gavin, the community raised over $23,000. With the money raised, an ownership consortium was established to work on the business case to secure an AIHL licence. Local businessmen, Peter Chamberlain (Allinsure), Jamie Wilson and Warren Apps (Coordinate) joined Mark Rummukainen to form the ownership consortium. In 2019, it was announced the CBR Brave ownership consortium had reached a deal with the ownership consortium of the Canberra Cavalry to merge the two franchises into one. Chamberlain, Wilson and Apps would continue to run the team through the 2019 season with a staggered merger period set-up that saw the new team management come into effect in 2020. In 2020, it was revealed Daniel Amodio and his business partner, Donn McMichael, had become majority shareholders and new directors of the CBR Brave. The new team management was also announced with Daniel Amodio taking up the role of CEO, Donn McMichael becoming chairman of the advisory committee, Sunny Singh become business Operations General Manager and Jordie Gavin stepping into General Manager of hockey operations. In April 2021, the CBR Brave ownership team of Daniel Amodio and Donn McMichael collapsed following $400,000 in debts owing to creditors with the Canberra Cavalry. Along
