Yes I Can - the motto, the song and the video, has truly become a legacy to the 2013 tournament in Kitchener. With over 600,000 hits to date on YouTube it has attracted attention from people in every walk of life.
Here are just a few comments.
"Although I honestly do not care for hockey at all, I just wanted to let you guys know that what you guys do for these children is AMAZING. Your video, that's all over Facebook, has made a football (not soccer!) loving, country boy from the State of Alabama, cry over hockey, which I never expected I would do in my life! It's the little things we do in life that make the world a better place, and y'all have done that."
