ALIGN YOUR PASSION WITH YOUR GOALS However you have been involved with hock- ey, the idea of setting goals and striving to achieve them has been part of the dialogue. Goals can be short-term or long-term, but no matter what they are, we plan to reach them through hard work, extra reps, additional coaching and a lot of sweat! So what might get in the way of achieving them, even if we have the tools, resources and a solid plan? Passion. Passion for the journey. Passion for the process. Without this passion, there is a very strong likelihood that you won't achieve the stated goal, worse yet, if you do accom- plish the goal, could it feel a little unfulfilling? Understanding and aligning these personal passions with a stated goal is just as important when discussing financial goals. How have you aligned your philanthropic, social and environmental passions with your stated financial goals to provide more meaning? If you would like to learn more about how to do that, please contact a UBS Financial Advisor today. UBS Financial Services is a proud sponsor of Minnesota Hockey. ubs.com PARK DENTAL OFFERS CUSTOM MOUTHGUARDS Hockey is fun. Losing teeth on the ice is not. If you play a sport, like hockey, where equipment could hit your face, a player could run into you, or you could fall down, you should wear a mouthguard. Proper fit- ting mouthguards are even more important for athletes who wear braces. It is crucial that mouthguards are comfortable and fit properly or they won't be worn, leaving teeth unprotected. If you would like a custom mouthguard made for you or a family member, please schedule an appointment at your local Park Dental practice. Park Dental would love to help protect your smile and answer any questions you have about dentistry in sports. To request an appointment, visit parkdental.com. M H J ON L I N E .
