We have to keep our kids playing; the more they play the better chance we have of finding another Gretzky or Lemieux.
It does both. It's nice to have all your goaltenders playing well but eventually we will have to make a decision on the two we're going to keep but it's a good problem to have,
If a child is enjoying himself or herself, they'll listen. While they're playing and listening, there's so much we can teach them.
Because of the pressures, we are humiliating the kids - we're taking them out of minor sports. We're driving them away from the game.
I wish he had stayed back and played midget, just enjoy.
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.

If a player is trying to intimidate a skilled player on your team, what do we want? We want our skilled players playing, so we shouldn't be doing that.
When you're young, you don't realize the sacrifices that people are making for you.
