We had a great turnout for the Jim Craig event.   Although the crowd was a bit more intimate than anticipated, this provided everyone the opportunity to meet him.  Mr. Craig was very personable and he gave a wonderful speech on what it takes to succeed beyond just a sheet of ice to succeeding in life.  He took what he learned from his time with Herb Brooks and playing hockey and shared those life lessons with a focus on delivering the message to the younger ones in attendance.  The NHA was fortunate to have an anonymous donor pay to bring in Mr. Craig and generated over $1700 for the association.  It was an honor to have hosted Mr. Craig.  It was an experience many soon will not forget.
