I
had
a
basketball
hoop
in
the
driveway
and
right
next
to
it
was
a
hockey
net.
The
hockey
net
got
used
a
little
bit
more!
I
just
fell
in
love
with
the
game."

It
was
a
lot
more
fun
for
me
growing
up
with
small-ice
hockey.
The
game's
all
about
skill,
creativity
and
competition.
Play
in
smaller
spaces
helps
develop
all
of
that."

I
didn't
watch
hockey
and
didn't
come
from
a
hockey
city,
but
once
I
found
the
sport
it
helped
me
focus
on
the
things
I
enjoying
doing
and
find
camaraderie
with
teammates
that
I
love."

The
rink
should
be
the
most
fun
place
that
we
go
every
day.
We
play
the
game
because
we
love
it.
We
coach
the
game
because
we
love
it.
We
create
a
fun,
passionate
environment."
