"Hockey's a funny game. You have to prove yourself every shift, every game. It's not up to anybody else. You have to take pride in yourself".
Paul Coffey
The reason i choose this quote is because its short and precise and still tells you that the hardest part of the game is having to prove yourself every shift so you will be able to go out again because if you dont show the coach that your worthy to play then he won't play you. It also talks about taking pride in yourself which is also a key concept in the game of hockey because if you dont have pride in yourself then your not going to be able to accomplish anything.
This video is almost like a mini recap of the history of hockey and shows all the greatest hockey players of all time.

Conclusion.
While i was studying heroes of hockey i found out about some of the greatest hockey players of all time and learned more about the true origins of hockey. I learned that the founder of the fundamentals of hockey was Wayne Gretzky and a player that created some of the greatest stick handling moves of all time was Bobby Orr. In the end, i learned that there are two types of hockey players. Hockey players that play for the love of the game and hockey players who play to just hit kids and hurt them. I also learned that the 3 core values to become a great hockey player are true courage, self motivation, and belief in yourself. With these 3 core values and devotion to the game anyone can make it to the NHL.
