Another year of wins, losses, and ties is in the books, but let’s be honest: stats become distant memories. Was it a seven or eight-game win streak? Did Tristan lead the team in plus-minus or was it Jesse?

Moments are what we take with us. Seasons full of experiences – from glorious to gut-wrenching – are what shape us.

The game helps us learn what it takes to succeed and how to rebound from defeat. It inspires without knowing. It is the foundation of lifelong friendships. It is at the heart of memories that last well beyond the final buzzer.

And thankfully, the game has a way of uniting us from one season to the next.
