“HH is our home away from home because of all the time we spend there. It is also our village, because our coaches and staff help us raise our child and where we help raise others children by driving them to meets, celebrating holidays, wins and other events, And our kids grow by learning from each other as they see each other get better and from the coaches who teach them new skills, how to work as a team and to follow the rules. The young athlete ends up learning that in sports, like in life, you must put a lot of work into anything you want to be good at and the more effort and practice the more successful you will be. We all also benefit from the strong sense of community found alongside the ice rink and look forward to the next practice, scrimmage or game, and even to the next season. Hasek’s heroes meets all of our hockey needs from completely outfitting our child with great equipment and gear. They are there to loan us a helmet that was left at home or to tape up our hockey stick. They help tie laces or fit the kids with the next size up when they have outgrown their equipment. HH provides us with free ice time and a caring staff to oversee the safety and learning of our young athletes. And the icing (excuse the pun) on the cake is they make it exciting an fun for us all.” -Yuri Cisneros - HH 10U Jayden Doyle's Papa
