I'd say NHLers are in the top 5 per cent of human beings in motivation and discipline. Guys like Howse who don't quite cut it are still probably in the top 25 per cent - much less and he probably drops out of hockey when he's 14. So I don't like the term 'lack of motivation'. I'd wager Howse has shown more motivation and discipline in hockey over the last five years than most people on this forum have over their own vocations.
