Blazesoft Listed Among Top 15 on 2025 Best Workplaces™ in Canada
Blazesoft, a worldwide B2B service provider, celebrates inclusion on the 2025 Best Workplaces™ in Canada list, climbing to the 15th spot from last year's 34th ranking out of 100 organizations
TORONTO, April 16, 2025 /PRNewswire/ - Blazesoft, a service provider for top entertainment platforms across the U.S. and Canada, is delighted to share its inclusion on the esteemed 2025 Best Workplaces™ in Canada list published by Great Place to Work® Canada. Ranking 15th out of 100 premier organizations — and earning the title of Canada's number one company for Camaraderie out of 250 nominees — this recognition marks a dramatic leap from last year's 34th ranking.
At Blazesoft, a great employee experience is a value-pinned success factor as it encompasses everyone's contribution to the organization, irrespective of their role, background, or time spent working there. Blazesoft is dedicated to promoting an inclusive and supportive workplace culture. With over 12 languages spoken company-wide and 55% of the workforce made up of women—including half of all senior leadership roles—Blazesoft doesn't just talk about representation; it embodies it. After the thorough and independent analysis, some standout scores were received: 98% for Integrity, 98% for Camaraderie and Team, 98% for Corporate Image, and 98% overall employee satisfaction rate, exceeding the average 60% at a typical Canadian organization.
The competition process is stringent and employee-driven, relying on two key criteria: a significant portion of the total score derives from confidential employee survey responses, while the remainder is based on an in-depth review of the organization's culture. Great Place to Work's global research shows that all companies want a high-trust culture, so the way forward for organizations is to create psychologically safe workplaces, regardless of whether someone is on the front lines or sitting in a corner office. Much like the frontlines, Blazesoft keeps its departments agile and adaptable. In times of uncertainty, open two-way communication with leadership becomes especially important. So is a fundamental sense of caring among colleagues and employees' ability to bring their full selves to work.
'Being recognized by Great Place to Work® Canada, an organization that lists the best workplaces in Canada, is an honor that we deeply value, especially since it stems directly from our employees' feedback,' said Mickey Blayvas, CEO of Blazesoft.

PWHL hires Princeton coach Cara Gardner Morey as GM of its Vancouver expansion team
Cara Gardner Morey is leaving Princeton following seven seasons as women's hockey coach after being hired as general manager and the first employee of PWHL Vancouver's expansion franchise, the league announced Friday. Aside from spending 14 seasons at Princeton, Gardner Morey has held various coaching roles with Hockey Canada at the senior women and under-18 levels, while also serving as a developmental camp coach with the Philadelphia Flyers the past four years. She coached the Tigers to their first ECAC conference tournament title in 2020 as part of a school-record 26-win season. Advertisement Her former Tigers players include Canadian national team members in forward Sarah Fillier and defenseman Claire Thompson, who were selected first and third overall in last year's PWHL draft. Gardner Morey's first priorities will involve hiring coaching and support staffs, while also preparing for the league's exclusive expansion signing period from June 4-8 and expansion draft on June 9. Her hiring comes two days after the PWHL appointed Boston Fleet assistant GM Meghan Turner to take over as general manager of its other expansion franchise in Seattle. The six-team league, in the midst of completing its second season, announced Vancouver and Seattle's additions in separate news conferences held a week apart late last month. 'Cara brings exceptional experience at all levels of the game, a deep understanding of player development, and an unwavering passion for advancing women's sports,' PWHL executive vice president of hockey operations Jayna Hefford said. Advertisement From Hensall, Ontario, Gardner Morey played both ice and field hockey at Brown University, and also played in the original NWHL. She earned a masters in education at Arizona State. 'It's a privilege to help bring the best women's hockey to one of the greatest cities in the world,' Gardner Morey said. Vancouver was selected as the PWHL's first expansion franchise after attracting a sold-out crowd of 19,038 to a neutral site game in January. The yet-to-be-named Vancouver team will play out of the former home of the Vancouver Canucks, the Pacific Coliseum. ___ AP Women's Hockey: John Wawrow, The Associated Press
