Hockey Coach Sayings

#1. I'm a hockey coach and a single mother of two who commutes. I don't watch TV. I watch news, and that's it!

Ashleigh Banfield

#2. I coach hockey players - some of them just happen to be girls. When I'm coaching youth hockey, I put the boys and girls together and they can't tell the difference. They are just playing hockey.

Natalie Darwitz

#3. I wasn't naturally gifted in terms of size and speed; everything I did in hockey I worked for, and that's the way I'll be as a coach.

Wayne Gretzky

#4. My sports were team sports: ice hockey and baseball. The whole team dynamic is similar in business. Leadership is earned - the captain earns that role; it's not because he's the coach's son. These are all things we know, but in today's world, it's not a bad idea to remind ourselves.

James McNerney

#5. Developing better people should be the number one goal for any coach when dealing with kids. In trying to develop better people, we are going to develop more and better pros.

Bobby Orr

#6. The only other time I can recall my dad getting upset at me was when I missed a hockey practice. My parents were away, so my buddy and I decided to skip it. I never told my dad about it, but he found out from the coach.

Mike Weir

#7. I was like the roadie, I was carrying gear, checking things in at airports, making sure they had flowers backstage and interfacing with promoters who were sometimes really nice and sometimes a little seedy. It was a great apprenticeship, to be in the music industry.

Annie E. Clark

#8. She downed the last of her beer, knowing that her wayward thoughts were Drunk Allison coming out to play. She wasn't even drunk proper yet, just tipsy, but Drunk Allison was flexible like that.

Melissa Cutler

#9. It's defeatist to harp on what might have been, and yet, it's hard to resist considering what might have been.

Christopher Reeve

#10. Coming to another hockey Mecca like Toronto makes you a better coach. I want to have fun again. I want to make it fun for everybody, and it's fun when you win.

Pat Burns

#11. The beginning of mindful eating is the realization that eating meat is not about the meat-eater; it is about the animals who are tormented and killed.

Norm Phelps

#12. Anything coach Babcock needs me to do, I'll do it and if it's face-off well, I'm willing and ready to do that obviously.

Patrice Bergeron

#13. When I broke into professional hockey at 17 I was told that I was too small and too slow and I wouldn't make the NHL. Now it's kind of flip-flopped and the sense is I can't be a good coach because I was a great athlete.

Wayne Gretzky

#14. Even though the world does not see You any more, I can see You through the work of Your Holy Spirit. Because You live, I also live.

Beth Moore

#15. Being insulted by your child and loving them anyway is the human condition.

Sarah Ruhl

#16. I tend to be a person who starts with the presumption that I should trust you until you abuse the privilege, and then our relationship is forever changed. That's a very big line, and chances are it's not going to work if it's crossed. I warn people that this is how I'm going to deal with it.

Penny Pritzker

#17. There's a place for farts, and there's a place for sharts.

J.E. Haldeman

#18. Nobody gives a crap about hockey down here - nobody. I coach kids' hockey down here and you can start to see the disinterest in the game here with the kids.

Bobby Hull

#19. We need a new, deeper appreciation of the ethnic histories of the American people, not a reduction of American history to ethnic histories.

Steven C. Rockefeller

#20. One should not google oneself. My mother lets me know when I'm being followed by paparazzi.
