To Inculcate Virtue in the Young

Tuesday, June 16th, 2009
I like the word “inculcate”. It speaks of virtue and of lessons learned early in life. Click here for information from Dictionary.com on the word “inculcate”.
 
Inculcating a winning tradition in our team starts early and now often at Hershey and South Carolina.
 
Here is a story by Dan Daly of the Washington Times. It is a very upbeat and positive story about the Capitals; our young players; our Hershey AHL partnership; and about “inculcating” winning that will hopefully lead to a championship in DC one day. Click here to read this article. One day into the official off season and I already can’t wait for next season to start. Go Caps!

Who Says Communism Can’t Be Fun?

Check out this short film - 8 minutes long - on SnagFilms.com. Click here. It is called Wu Tang Gran and it shows that the Chinese people can break-dance and show their groove thing. Who knew?
 
Isn’t it great that we can export rap music and break-dancing to China? :-)
