Former NHL Player Uses Charity Sports to Open New Doors

A former NHL player is putting his name and experience to work in a different kind of grind, using charity-backed sports programming to reach kids and families who need a path in. The story centers on how that platform is supposed to change lives, which is the sort of mission that sounds simple until you see how much work actually sits behind it. In hockey, people love to talk about development, but this goes beyond on-ice reps and into the stuff that can actually change a kid’s trajectory.
