The absolute best thing about having this kind of fame is to have influence on the fans, and more specifically the kids. Every time we host an event like this, the kids are over the moon, but even cooler is that all the players who participate, walk away with such a heartwarming feeling. We all get a chance to remember why we do this. 

For our fun day in Detroit, we will be running a lot of exciting games that will teach the kids skills, but that doesn’t make this feel like a practice or a drill. We will be playing freeze tag to focus on skating skills, we’ll play a few target games to help kids with their aim and puck control, and we’ll be playing a few frustrating games that will help kids work on their mental game too. We cannot wait to host, and I look forward to this opportunity!
