Coaches have a certain amount of influence that maybe parents don't have. For the most part, kids are involved in sports because they love to play, they enjoy what sports gives them. Some kids, it may be the one positive thing they have going on. Maybe they're struggling a little bit in school.

We'll leave it there and see what the other major league sports do, ... We are very anxious to rid all professional sports of any ... steroids or amphetamines.

It is always very difficult to assess the value of individuals but there is no doubt that Henrik will have a huge positive influence for us. He is also a great influence on the squad, the morale of the squad. His return is a very positive factor for us.

For the record, it is certainly the case that there needs to be prize consideration for gambling, ...
