STORIES FOR THE WEEK
Hold
Everything! I’ve Been Looking For A Place Like This All My Life!
I
once met a farmer who had lived on the same farm all his life. It was a
good farm with fertile soil, but with the passing of the years, the farmer
began to think that maybe there was something better for him.
The
Daffodil Principle - Editorial by Robert Kirwan
The
other day I read a story about a "Daffodil Garden" that gave me
some tremendous insight into how some people always seem to accomplish so
much with the time they have, while others are confused, stressed out and
never seem to have enough time to get anything done.

FROM
THE WORLD OF HOCKEY
When
Being Hockey Crazy Meant No Time For Dinner
Remember
the days when you and your friends played four-hour road hockey games and
simply had fun. Every day you played for a new Stanley Cup and it didn’t
really matter who was on your team. You just wanted to have fun. Normal
everyday things like eating and homework simply got in the way.
Maybe
The Problems With Hockey Today Are A Result of Coaches Being Too Well
Trained
I
firmly believe that the root of all problems in minor hockey today can be
traced back to the fact that we are doing too good a job of training our
coaches.
