Very touching story. Should be read by everyone, even people who aren't hockey fans.

This is just an insanely mature and lovely thing for a team of guys this young to do.

Had a chance to meet the Hawks at the Cell this summer. They were all great guys. Every player signed an autograph for us. I'm so sick of the

Jag-Bags on the Bulls and Bears, what a great change of pace.

This is why a locker room matters. DT and Co. have done a good job getting good character guys in there and ridding themselves of the Barnaby's and LaPointe's.

Great story. Hockey players are very likable for the most part, and among Gary Bettman's many mistakes, one of them is not promoting that fact enough.

Im wondering which player spearheaded this movement. If it was the young captain then I am even more impressed.

 

Maybe I should read the article first. it said they were told by mgmt.

The 'Hawks were Keith Olbermann's "Best People in the World" a little while ago because of this story.

We're not quite as surprised when hockey players do it. One of the truths in professional sports is that hockey players are different.

 

Of all the pro athletes I have met, the nicest have been hockey players, followed closely by football.

I dont know, i've met a ton of asshole hockey players. I would think golfers would top the list.
