While some children are fortunate enough to get new hockey equipment over the holidays, the players know that isn’t the case for every family. That's why NHLPA Goals & Dreams (G&D) steps in year-round.

G&D has been a proud supporter of grassroots hockey since the inception of the player's program in 1999.

Hear more about the program from the players themselves as Kevin Bieksa, Sidney Crosby, Gabriel Landeskog, Patrick Kane, Henrik Lundqvist, and Henrik Sedin explain what new equipment means.
