A small story, I organized a University league team when I was going to school, and we had a couple guys from Egypt who had never played hockey in their life, but wanted to try. They went out and brought all new equipment, and our entire team welcomed them with open arms. We taught them to play, and game results didn't even matter in the end, as almost every game was just us trying to feed them the puck or teach them what to do, so they were having fun. By the end of the first season, they loved the game so much and were so happy just to be included.
