First of all...APOLOGIES!!
I haven't posted in a very long time!!
I was privileged to be a part of a charity event called the Guardian Of The Flame hockey tournament. I do several charity tournaments every year but this one was extra special because it was dedicated to the Special Olympics. Now one thing that made this tourney so special was because we had a special athlete play with us for an entire game. It was truly a privilege and an inspiration to play with this young man who's name was Andrew. He has down-syndrome, but when he plays the game it's like he doesn't even have this disability. I was privileged to play on a line with him quite a few times and I even managed to assist on a COUPLE (out of 4) of his goals! He also gave me a beautiful pass in which I happily put into the net!
