Hockey can teach kids a lot more than how to play the game. It can teach them to be better kids.
Working within the parameters of the ADM not only will it help associations, coaches and parents develop better hockey players; it will help them develop better kids. Not every kid that laces up skates will play in the NHL, but if we can teach them early on how to be better kids they could grow up to be better doctors, teachers, community leaders or whatever it is they decide to do - including playing in the NHL. Live the dream. Never, ever give up.
