I personally think that human connection is an important aspect in everybody’s everyday life.  I personally think that sports help bring people and communities together because with my personal experiences I have developed leadership skills that I use In everyday life to help me get through different obstacles that life throws my way.

Sports like hockey bring many communities together and also create new ones. Hockey helps kids have a sense of belonging in a group that you know that will have your back on and off the playing field. Hockey also focuses on other skills other than just playing skill, because with my personal experiences I have learned how to work well with other people that I don’t know. It also brings unity to individuals that are all working for a specific goal.
