Knowing that the Pats are the face of hockey in…

They’re straddling two worlds – and because of that, they feel like they’ve lost their sense of identity.” As a result of the increased additions and suicide rates, police in the area have partnered with two local Indian organizations, CHIA International and Help, Inc., to create the treatment camp centred around hockey.…
