I just received information from the Michigan High School Hockey Coaches Association on a new scholarship opportunity. Henrik Zetterberg, or "Hank" as he's known to his Detroit Red Wings teammates, is funding a new scholarship for boys and girls who play high school hockey in Michigan. This information states that "Zetterberg has a strong desire to get involved in educational athletics to improve the lives of hockey players who choose to play the game for their high school teams."
It seems as though in the past few years there has been a lot wrong with professional sports and less than stellar behavior on the part of many professional athletes. With that being said it was good to hear that Henrik Zetterberg, a very high profile professional athlete and one of the best hockey players in the world, is interested in providing this type of support. I think it says a great deal about his character. Thanks Hank!
