The Player's Tribune - Shane Doan

Great article. Discusses his reasons for staying in Phoenix/Winnipeg rather than moving on, his growth as a player, Gretz's tenure as coach, and the future of the franchise. Love these articles.

Love the part about Steven Reinprecht's pajamas.

Great write up. Love him or hate him on the ice he really comes off as a humble guy in this article. I love how he come accross as grateful that he has been able to stay in one spot rather than regretful that he didn't take the percieved "better opportunity" elsewhere.
We often forget that these guys are real people. Staying put so your family can grow up and be comfortable can really be priceless. Hats off to him for working through all of the bad years with his eyes looking forward toward a light that may have never existed.
The Player's tribune is my second favorite place to read about hockey, really cool stuff.

Snet did a bit on him when the FLames played the Coyotes. He is well respected in the Phoenix/Arizona community. Cards and Dback players were talking about his loyalty to the club and everything. Senator (and ex-presidential hopeful) John McCain invited him to some fancy shindig with dignitaries and such.

I say good for Shane Doan carving out such a long career.

I don't doubt the guy is a good guy off the rink, but I still think he's a dirty player on the rink.

Great article and great insight from a player. I am loving the Players Tribune ever since I got introduced to it.

I myself am only interested in reading about NHL and hockey. Does anyone know how I can modify the email notification so that I only get hockey stuff? I am getting bombarded with other sports and would be helpful if I didn't.
