So many of today's programs are about trophies and jackets, and we think that's a big mistake.
From Bobby Orr
The kids wait for it to be organized. They want to go play all of these tournaments, for a little practice time. I learned my skills by dropping the puck just with the kids. I think that's missing today.
Growing up, if I hadn't had sports, I don't know where I'd be. God only knows what street corners I'd have been standing on and God only knows what I'd have been doing, but instead I played hockey and went to school and stayed out of trouble.
When you're young, you don't realize the sacrifices that people are making for you.
Hockey is a tough game.
We're professional athletes. People know who we are, and if there's some way we can help with a friend or someone in need, that's a responsibility we have. I really strongly believe that.
If you're going to help somebody, sneak in, sneak out, do what you can. I just sneak along and do my thing and meet wonderful people, some people I've never met, new friends.
You hear peewee coaches teaching the 'trap'. What the heck are we doing teaching the 'trap'? Let the kids go, let them have fun; that's how you improve.
My Dad was my biggest supporter. He never put pressure on me.
The fat lady hasn't sung yet. We'll wait until we get a look at what is in the motion passed on third reading.
