If hockey players are familiar with one thing, it’s working through adversity. In fact, rumour has it that “we’ve just gotta put our heads down and get through it” are the first words out of a hockey player’s mouth after “mama” and “dada.”

Head down.
Finish checks.
Make the safe plays.
Throw pucks on the goalie.
Go to the net.
