“I can’t help but remember how privileged I was to learn from great hockey role models,” Knight said. “I think I am extremely fortunate today to be in a position where I can continue to improve, and at the same time, give back to hockey and teach what I have learned.”

Limited space is still available, and players can register for the camp at www.olympifyhockey.com.
