When ice is not available, this translate to shinny! The game of hockey is so well versed in Canada that many Canadians (me included) take advantage of any family reunion, friends gathering to get out there and poke the stick at a ball or puck.. well, with some degree of skill or other!
Perhaps we are inspired by the many other Canadians that have come before us. Teaching us patience, hand-eye coordination, skill and determination. Whatever the reason we love this sport so much, we tend to look up to those who have shared this common ground with us... Those who have not only lived the dream of playing in the BIG league... but have also contributed to our national sport... in more ways than we can shake a stick at (pun intended!)
Among those, are some great hockey heroes whose names are engraved on the Stanley Cup and who's numbers' hang high atop the raster at major rinks! But some of those Hockey heroes are also behind the limelight. Their passion and determination shine brighter than any light! They are the ones that are implicated at the local levels, those who aspire to making their communities something great through the passion for our national sport.
Ken Williams is one of those people. He shares his 32-year hockey career with all of us, but also has a special kinship with Newfoundland & Labrador.
His hard work, valuable insight and contributions, coupled with a myriad of fantastic decisions have made him a great ambassador to the game in Canada!
Take the time to watch this video to understand why Hockey Canada is so proud of Ken Williams and why, we as Canadians are too !
I was especially proud to have contributed my voice for the narration of this video !
