From Bob McKenzie at TSN,
The most inspirational hockey performance on Tuesday wasn’t Jeremy Roenick’s heroics in leading the San Jose Sharks to a Game 7 victory over the Calgary Flames or the Philadelphia Flyers dodging the Alexander Ovechkin bullet to get to the second round.
It took place that morning at St. Marguerite d’Youville Catholic School in Whitby, Ont.
A game of ball hockey was played between the Grade 8 students and their teachers there but this was no run of the mill student-teacher activity. This was a full-scale game-day presentation that could put some NHL teams to shame and this was an event with a higher purpose, of that there is no doubt.

Glad you liked it, Jeff. I thought it was a great piece by McKenzie as well.
