THE HOCKEY PROJECT CREED

"While I have not yet achieved greatness, I am traveling on the upward way"

Jas. A.R. Kinney
- Manager of the Halifax Eurekas of the
Colored Hockey League of the Maritimes, 1915

We Believe
The game of hockey builds character.

Because of the commitment needed to even begin to participate, hockey develops characteristics that carry over into all parts of a player’s life:
Perseverance, Adaptability, Drive, and Determination.

We Believe
The game of hockey teaches life lessons

When you fall… get up and move forward. If someone knocks you down…get up and move forward. If you reach a goal… celebrate. If you fail… try harder. If you are put in a no-win predicament… find a way to win.

We Believe
The game of hockey teaches life skills

Unlike typical ball sports, hockey requires a person to learn a new way to physically get from Point A to Point B. The moment you lace up the skates you are immediately faced with an obstacle that must be overcome in order to continue. This game is all about overcoming adversity. It is a constant learning process

We Believe
This game can change your life.

Because of the unique elements of the game; the sheet of ice, the curved stick, the Zamboni, hockey is a whole new world for those that engage in the game. That world can become a refuge, a place to dwell, evolve, and thrive.
