Because of the commitment needed to even begin to participate, hockey develops characteristics that carry over into all parts of a player’s life. Perserverence, adaptability, drive, and determination. <br /><br /><strong>We Believe</strong><br /><br />The game of hockey teaches life lessons<br /><br />When you fall…get up and move forward. If someone knocks you down…get up and move forward. If you reach a goal…celebrate. If you fail…try harder. If you are put in a no-win predicament…find a way to win.<br /><br /><strong>We Believe</strong><br /><br />The game of hockey teaches life skills<br /><br />Unlike typical ball sports, hockey requires a person to learn a new way to physically get from Point A to Point B. The moment you lace up the skates you are put into a situation familiar to people who have suffered a debilitating injury or who were born with a birth defect. You are immediately faced with something that must be overcome in order to continue.<br /><br /><strong>We Believe</strong><br /><br />This game can change your life. <br /><br />Because of the unique elements of the game; the sheet of ice, the curved stick, the Zamboni, hockey is a whole new world for those that engage in the game. That world can become a refuge, a place to dwell, evolve, and thrive.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1460903608516964758-6954419710935600387?l=thpstory.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Hockey Northeastnoreply@blogger.com
