I would tell that young player, who carries with them the hopes and dreams of every child who plays pond hockey and never makes it to the show to "remember to have fun, enjoy the sights and sounds and take it all in when you can." I firmly believe in my heart of hearts that we don't pause enough to "enjoy the view" as it were, we are always rushing to the next thing. In hockey, that is from practice to the gym to practice, to a game and in the league we do that 66 times a season. No matter the career you have, whether you are a first ballot hall of famer or an enforcer fighting to remain on the team; always try to take at least a moment every day to realize where you are. That you are living the dream so many wish they could attain, doing what you love and what makes you happy.
