Hockey, for most of us, was the first time \u2013 and so often the only time \u2013 we ever felt we truly mattered. \u2013 Ken Dryden<\/li>\n<li>Throughout the years ahead, just as in the past, NHL hockey will remain one of the most exciting team games, an awesome exhibition of strength, speed, endurance and fitness wherever it is played. \u2013 Brian McFarlane<\/li>\n<li>There is only one way a boy can be sure to learn to play hockey \u2013 on the pond, on the creek, on a flooded lot. The foundation of hockey isn\u2019t really hockey at all. It\u2019s shinny, a wild melee of kids batting a puck around, with no rules, no organization \u2013 nothing but individual effort to grab and hold the puck. \u2013 Lester Patrick<\/li>\n<li>I\u2019ve always felt hockey was like a disease. You can\u2019t really shake it. \u2013 Ken Wregget<\/li>\n<li>Hockey is like a religion in Montreal. You\u2019re either a saint or a sinner; there\u2019s no in-between. \u2013 Patrick Roy<\/li>\n<li>Baseball can have its perfect dimensions, its undeniable drama, but hockey, for all its wrongs, still has the potential to deliver a momentary, flashing magic that is found in no other game we play. \u2013 Roy MacGregor<\/li>\n<li>Hockey is a man\u2019s game. The team with the most real men wins. \u2013 Brian Burke<\/li>\n<li>You can\u2019t play hockey if you\u2019re nice. \u2013 Steve Ludzik<\/li>\n<li>You have to know what pro hockey is all about. You have to live and breathe and sleep it. You have to lose a few teeth and take some shots to the face. It\u2019s not a pretty thing. \u2013 Ted Nolan<\/li>\n<li>We know that hockey is where we live, where we can best meet and overcome pain and wrong and death. Life is just a place where we spend time between games. \u2013 Fred Shero<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>.<br \/>\n<em>Chris George, providing reliable PR counsel and effective advocacy.
