In many ways, hockey mirrors life. Teams and players go through high points and low points, injuries, setbacks, wins and losses. Hockey gives me something to root for, but it's more than just a game. As someone who struggles with depression, hockey inspired me to keep moving forward when it felt impossible to do so. I started collecting my favourite quotes and stories and writing something motivational for each day - things that didn't feel unrealistic for me, but real. Because some days you feel ready to run a marathon and some days you can only manage to do 'just one thing', but that thing is something to celebrate.

This collection combines faith and hockey, each day with a quote, how I apply it to my life, and a game plan to get you started. Let's just take this one day at a time.
