r later. He has played ever since and his can-do attitude cannot be missed. He said the secret to having such an upbeat outlook on life after his injury is simple."It's who you are before injury that leads into afterwards," Little said. "The injury is an event in time. That's it. But who you are before, that's who you are after. Now I just come in three pieces instead of one."Saturday was Little's second experience with the Blackhawks, who also skated with the Warriors during the 2010-11 season on their trip to visit the White House as Stanley Cup champions."We went to meet with them at Walter Reed [Medical Center] and we skated with them after practice the next day, and here we are again, the same bunch of guys," captain Jonathan Toews said. "I think the honor is still the same to get to talk to them and understand the things they're going through."The experiences meeting and skating with the Warriors were powerful for the Blackhawks, who got an up-close and inspirational look at how much some have given to serve their country."We look up at them," Toews said. "We appreciate everything they've done for us, and to us, they're the real heroes."Teammate Patrick Sharp agreed."When things aren't going so well at the rink or in your personal life, just to take a look at what some of these guys have sacrificed and what they're going through,Authentic Alex Ovechkin Jersey," Sharp said. "It puts things in perspective."It also gave the Warriors more great memories of their own."It was cool to be on the ice with them," Army Lance Cpl. Josh Misiewicz said. "They're so fast. You think they're fast when you're watching up in the stands, but on the ice level it's unbelievable. I'm definitely taking some memories from this, I'm sure."Misiewicz, who's from the Chicago area and grew up playing hockey as a Blackhawks fan, lost his legs in combat in 2011, when he stepped on an IED in Afghanistan. Like Little, he thought at first that he'd never be able to get back on the ice.After learning about the Warriors program, Misiewicz is playing sled hockey and enjoying every second."It's been good," he said. "It's good therapy, good everything. I played hockey my whole life and played some college and then joined the military. I got injured and one of the first things I thought was, 'I'll never play hockey again,Marc Staal Authentic Jersey,' so it's an unbelievable thing to play sled hockey and finally we put together a team out there, so it's a lot of fun for our guys."Part of the fun on Saturday included a staged "captains fight" between Little and Toews -- likely because of the actual scrap Toews got into Friday night against Sharks captain Joe Thornton."I'll never forget pulling Toews' jersey over his head,Marian Hossa Authentic Jersey," Little said,Authentic Tim Thomas Jersey, laughing. "He let me -- but it was pretty awesome."
