WEB EXCLUSIVE: A different perspective – Life of a Battle River Hockey League Player, by a BRHL player

I am a player in the Battle River Hockey League. Like now, sometimes when I am driving to the rink, I have time to be thinking about hockey. Sometimes I think about my younger years when I thought I had a chance to make the NHL. I think about that a lot actually. That was my dream as a kid. A lot of parents thought so too, mine included. It didn’t happen for me, like it didn’t happen for every single guy I play with and against and for various reasons.
