scenario Posted December 16, 2008 Share Posted December 16, 2008 (edited) Very touching story. Should be read by everyone, even people who aren't hockey fans. Edited December 16, 2008 by scenario Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is just an insanely mature and lovely thing for a team of guys this young to do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
266344 Posted December 16, 2008 Share Posted December 16, 2008 Had a chance to meet the Hawks at the Cell this summer. They were all great guys. Every player signed an autograph for us. I'm so sick of the Jag-Bags on the Bulls and Bears, what a great change of pace. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve9347 Posted December 16, 2008 Share Posted December 16, 2008 This is why a locker room matters. DT and Co. have done a good job getting good character guys in there and ridding themselves of the Barnaby's and LaPointe's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitesoxfan101 Posted December 16, 2008 Share Posted December 16, 2008 Great story. Hockey players are very likable for the most part, and among Gary Bettman's many mistakes, one of them is not promoting that fact enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RockRaines Posted December 16, 2008 Share Posted December 16, 2008 (edited) Im wondering which player spearheaded this movement. If it was the young captain then I am even more impressed. Maybe I should read the article first. it said they were told by mgmt. Edited December 16, 2008 by RockRaines Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CanOfCorn Posted December 16, 2008 Share Posted December 16, 2008 That's because Canadians are the nicest people on Earth!!! /only part green The 'Hawks were Keith Olbermann's "Best People in the World" a little while ago because of this story.

Texsox Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 We're not quite as surprised when hockey players do it. One of the truths in professional sports is that hockey players are different. Of all the pro athletes I have met, the nicest have been hockey players, followed closely by football. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont know, i've met a ton of asshole hockey players. I would think golfers would top the list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
