Episode 30: Kaleb Dahlgren
Kaleb Dahlgren is a #1 Bestselling Author with his recent memoir Crossroads - sharing his story of tragedy and resilience as a Humboldt Bronco. After losing 16 members of his Broncos family and surviving the tragic crash, he continued to give back and help the community of Humboldt heal.
Diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes at the age of four, Kaleb was told by his hockey coaches and scouts that he would never succeed in hockey. Instead of defeat, Kaleb used the negativity as motivation. He worked relentlessly and played the highest level of hockey each year of his young career.
Inspired by his own personal challenges, Kaleb created an organization called “Dahlgren’s Diabeauties” – a program that uses hockey to shed light on Type 1 Diabetes and provide support for children living with this disease. Kaleb received the Canadian Volunteer Award for Emerging Leader of the Prairies in 2018 due to his relentless community work. Graduating from York University with a Commerce Degree and being named the Most Outstanding Male Graduate for Varsity Athletics, Kaleb is forging his next path as a Chiropractic student and Keynote Speaker!
