“Youth hockey has allowed me to be
part of a team and at the same time
make long lasting friendships while
playing a sport I love!”
-Gage Letourneau

“It’s difficult to truly sum up how these kids feel about hockey. It literally runs through
their veins. When they are on the ice there is no place they would rather be; when they are
off they are chomping at the bit to get back on! Off the ice they truly live and breathe the
sport by playing knee hockey, street hockey, watching hockey, practicing stick handling and
slap shots, counting the minutes until they are back on the ice. In the fall when ice goes in,
they bust through the doors to get the first beautiful glimpse and savor the smell of fresh
ice! Our hockey family is together again. As a parent and a team manager it is truly amazing
to see the depth of their love of the game.”
