I am extremely proud to be able to help the youth in the Bas-Saint-Laurent region play hockey - this donation means a lot to our foundation. I also want to thank the people at the NHLPA for working together with our foundation on this NHLPA Goals & Dreams equipment donation. We're all pushing in the same direction, and the future is bright for our organization. We have several long-term projects with the Foundation, and I'm excited for what's to come. I want to thank all the volunteers who are involved - they allow young people to dream.
