“When the boys were younger, our fridge was always full of nutritious food to help them grow and perform their best on and off the ice,” says Linda. “Even with our busy schedules we always made time for a nutritious breakfast together. I would prepare oatmeal because it was quick and healthy.”

We didn’t judge their success by the scoreboard alone. They worked hard, but having fun was just as important.”
