If you’re lucky enough to have someone in your life who pushes you to be better - on or off the ice - be grateful. Not everyone has that kind of support. Whether it’s a coach, teammate, or parent, the people who challenge you are often the ones who believe in you most. Take a moment today to thank them. Gratitude is part of growth - and no great player gets there alone.

Champions aren’t defined by how easy the path is - they’re defined by how they respond when it gets hard.

Because they’ve trained their mindset just as hard as their shot.

This Memorial Day, we pause to remember the heroes who gave everything so we could enjoy the freedoms we often take for granted - including the freedom to play the game we love. At Lamplighter Hockey, we honor their sacrifice by living, leading, and playing with purpose - on and off the ice. Because the greatest victories aren’t just measured in goals, but in gratitude.
