Each year at training camp we get the players to decorate a practice puck.  We put the pucks into the puck bag to remind us of our core values. This year our theme is Build our House with core values of Support, Connection, Accountable and Repect.  At the end of the season players can take the puck home or leave it in the bag for next year's team to discover. 

Thanks to Greg Telfer my assistant coach at the time for the idea. 

This is a constant reminder about what's important in terms of your culture.  Another way we remind the players of these 4 pillars, is instead of player of the game, we acknowledge Pillars of the game.   The acknowledgement can be from on ice, on bench, or somethng the coaches have seen throughout the week.
