Will You go For That Puck?

Listening to CBC news today they spoke of the Oiler's 3 at home wins, ( a rarity). 
Hall says the wins are attributed to the coach showing them some video. In the video the  players are asked the question, Will you go for the puck? When put it in those simple terms, players reacted and now put forth that extra effort to go for the puck. 

What if we made a video for schools... A student walks in- the staff can go for the puck (that student) or they can just let the puck go by. A student doesn't show up to school for a week. The staff can grind it out in the corner and find out where she he is, or they can just let it go by. A student is looking unhealthy, staff can give the student an orange and ask what's up, or they can let that puck go by. At the learning Stores and in Zama kids know we don't let pucks go by. We put forth that extra effort to make sure our students complete work, move along the road to graduation and are healthy socially, emotionally and physically. 
Thank you for going for the puck!
