Canada Hockey Gold Medal Hopefuls
January 17th, 2009
Scenes like this are being played out in almost every town and city across Canada each winter.
With the help of prolonged temperatures below freezing and the commitment of municipalities to create and maintain outdoor rinks such as this one found in Kingston, Ontario our kids are given a chance to skate as often as they want and rack up some serious hours on the ice. Perhaps our international success is in large part a result of the thousands of hours of played on these rinks. Maybe some kids even get in 10,000 hours; the pre-requisite for top level success in Malcolm Gladwell’s latest book “The Outliers“.
