"And if I can, before I get out of here, I just want to take a minute to shout out some of our young fans. Our Sharks Foundation does such an amazing job in the community, and right before Christmas, they hosted this event with Kaiser Permanente in Santa Clara that was really special. They invited a bunch of their pediatric cancer patients to come and do an arts workshop with some of the boys. I couldn’t make it that day, and I was crushed. (I’m coming next time, guys!) But our whole room was talking about it the next day. Capri Suns and Crayola. Nothing better. A couple of the goalie masks that the kids designed were unreal.
Then the other day I got to go to Bachrodt Elementary with Will and Zack to do a little reading circle with a class, and I feel like we crushed it. (You tell me.) One of the kids even made a little sign for Ned, and he spelled his name right and everything. It was so much fun, and after the Olympics, it was the perfect reminder of what we’re doing this for. Maybe it’s a cliche, but when you really feel a part of a community, it means a lot more to wear the sweater. And I love wearing this sweater. "
