The NHL produced a series of video starting in November of 2013 called NHL Life. They are available on You Tube and at NHL.com.
Episode 2 in the series focuses on Tom Kowal based out of Calgary who has been with the league since the 1999 season and is below for your enjoyment.
This is well worth the 5ish minutes to view there are some powerful messages in there.
What I found funny was a few of the comments from You Tube shown immediately below. Many folks who are interested in getting to the professional level sometimes think there is some secret sauce that gets dabbed on folks. I'm here to tell you, there isn't.
You want to be a professional, yes you have to practice your craft more than anyone else to be the very best you can, but, you have to be an open, thoughtful, compassionate human when doing so.
Without these traits, it will be hard, if not downright impossible, to be the professional you may want to be.
