Jarome Iginla prepares to give Ryan a thunderous check into the boards
This past week, my seven year-old, Ryan, has had the pleasure of attending Jarome Iginla's week-long hockey school. At first, we didn't quite know what to expect. What would this Iginla guy be like with these kids? This guy that goes out on the ice and beats the crap out of people, geez, I don't know...
Then came the meet-and-greet with Jarome on the Sunday before the hockey school. I left there shaking my head. The guy looks you in the eye and genuinely thanks you for the privilege of teaching your budding hockey star. You can tell that this guy is just plain ol' one of the good guys. He taps the kids on the shin and says, "good job, buddy". He gave Ryan some skating tips and tricks. Thumbs up to Iggy!! The kids will be lifelong fans of his, and I somehow get the feeling that it's mutual....

Sounds like you had a better experience than I did at Russell Crowe's "Assaulting Service Workers and Sailing Camp for Dummies"
