MESSAGE FROM THE COACH.

Are Christian hockey players wimps?
Not on your life, no way!
Christian hockey players are some of the best emotionally balanced, well-rounded players on the team and make some of the best teammates a fellow player can have. When it comes to playing hockey they are full of grit, passion and intensity. God says in the Bible, Colossians 3:23,"Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as for working for the Lord, not for men." that means that we Christians are to work hard in ALL that we do (even at practice).
Everything we do is done in honesty and with integrity which means that we don't,"do anything to win" but we do everything to win according to God's standards.
One of the hardest parts about being a Christian on a team is to maintain a good witness to your teammates and coaches; this is where you need God's wisdom and power. The Bible, in 1 Peter 2:12, talks about having such a good life (testimony) among your teammates that they may see your good deeds. This will earn you the respect of your teammates which then could open up opportunities for you to tell them about what God has done in your life and what He means to you.
Christian hockey player, you are not to shrink back but to step out in boldness knowing that Christ is in you and works thru you on the ice, in the dressing room and on the bench.
