TITANS WIN $10,000 GRANT FROM WASHINGTON CAPITALS & MSE FOUNDATION
The Washington Capitals and Monumental Sports & Entertainment Foundation announced Titans Youth Hockey is a 2022-23 beneficiary of the organization’s Capital Impact Fund - Titans Youth Hockey is among five Washington, D.C., area nonprofits that will receive $10,000 each. The organizations were selected by the Capitals based on their missions and impact toward diversity in hockey, as well as on their plans to use the funding to further advance Diversity, Equity and Inclusion in the sport.

TITANS 2020 MLK DAY SERVICE EVENT
Dozens of Titans players and parents gathered at the farm behind Fort Dupont Ice Arena on Monday, Jan 20, for our annual MLK Service day event! They wielded hoes and weeded plant beds, and helped staffers from our nonprofit partner DC Urban Greens prepare for this year's spring planting. DCUG provides produce for residents in DC's food deserts. It was a chilly day, but warm inside the hothouses, and after all the hard work, the Titans-turned-gardeners were treated to Coach Meaux's famous hot nutella crepes. Big thanks to the wonderful staff at DC Urban Greens, and thanks to all the Titans who turned out!

GOOD READING ON YOUTH SPORTS
What Sports Parents Can Learn From a Town in Vermont That Produced 11 Olympians
Norwich has sent its kids to the Olympics while largely rejecting the hypercompetitive joy-wringing culture of today’s achievement-oriented parents. In Norwich, kids don’t specialize in a single sport, and they even root for their rivals. Parents encourage their kids to simply enjoy themselves because they recognize that more than any trophy or record, the life skills sports develop and sharpen are the real payoff. The town’s approach runs counter to the widespread belief — propagated by those perpetuating the professionalized youth sports complex — that athletic excellence and a well-balanced childhood cannot coexist."
The Secret to Norway's Olympic Success
Tore Ovrebo, director of elite sports in Norway, says that "in Norway, organized youth sports teams cannot keep score until they are 13. “We want to leave the kids alone,” says Ovrebo. “We want them to play. We want them to develop, and be focused on social skills. They learn a lot from sports. They learn a lot from playing. They learn a lot from not being anxious. They learn a lot from not being counted. They learn a lot from not being judged. And they feel better. And they tend to stay on for longer.”
9-year-old hockey players deliver a lesson in decency
Wondering whether we can still find grace and honor anywhere around Washington? Yes, you can. It was on full display Sunday afternoon at a hockey rink.
