“Hockey can be the draw that brings kids in, and we can help them with skills, but in reality we are teaching them life skills … helping create self esteem, teamwork, problem solving and communication skills … along with a form of exercise to help them live healthier lives. That’s what’s good about introducing kids to the game.”--Former New York Ranger and Stanley Cup Champion Steve Larmer, who helps coach inner city kids trying hockey in New Jersey
"Don’t believe there are life lessons to be learned? As time ticks on, your teammates will become your coworkers, your coaches will become your bosses and the team you currently play on will be the company you work for. And then, the life lessons you learned in sports will continue to make you a better person, and a better team player."--Dave Jensen was a member of the 1984 U.S. Olympic Team, and is the senior vice president of TouchPoint Sports in Minneapolis, the publisher of USA Hockey Magazine.
