I'm willing to bet that most people in an NFL stadium have never put on a pair of football pads. Similarly, the majority of people at an NHL game in Dallas have probably never played a serious game of hockey -- yet they show up night after Tomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01560804214509853836noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24746874.post-61437077995946102012008-09-16T09:04:00.000-04:002008-09-16T09:04:00.000-04:00I think that grassroots development is important b...I think that grassroots development is important but really the biggest thing is getting those kids to the ACC to see games.
