Leadership

This week's topic is leadership, focusing on the context of hockey and the community. We've appointed our team captain and three assistants - let's hear from them and our team of parent commentators about the role of leadership on and off the ice. We also catch up with Mayor John Taylor, who shares personal experiences from playing hockey and emphasizes the valuable life skills gained from sports. Listeners will discover the evolving nature of leadership in hockey and gain an understanding of the qualities and responsibilities that effective leaders must embody, both in sports and in life. Hot off a tournament win, our team needs to keep the W-L ratio high. Staying disciplined in the face of penalties will be key as they continue to generate more and more opportunities - and master the art of the power play. Come join us every Friday at Ray Twinney Recreation Complex in Newmarket to catch the action. You can visit renegadesrinkside.ca for all the details.
