About
Born in Victoria, BC, Adrian Pereira grew up on a small cul-de sac around the corner from his school. He was raised by two incredibly hard-working parents who immigrated to Canada and to this day model hard work, innovation and creative thinking. As a child, Adrian would spend a significant amount of his time playing street hockey with his brothers and the neighbourhood kids. Many of these friends he continues to play hockey with as an adult. Adrian attended the University of Victoria majoring in Computer Science. During his years in university, he also worked for UVic, Motorola and the Department of National Defense. Also while attending UVic, Adrian built one of his first businesses from scratch, HockeyDraft.ca. Tired of manually calculating hockey pool stats using the newspaper, Adrian built a site that would automatically manage all aspects of a hockey pool, saving people hours of weekly work. Almost two decades later, HockeyDraft.ca has been used by millions of Canadians a
