About the Tour ~ About the Tour
The Snyder family is commited to keeping Dan's legacy alive through this tour designed to create a positive message in communitites. While Graham is not a professional speaker by trade, his ability to impact and inspire an audience has been much heralded following his experiances as a keynote speaker for various community functions and conferences throughout Canada. "In the dark hours after the accident, I began to think about things Dan and I used to talk about throughout his hockey career, how often the only thing we can control is how we respond to what life sets in front of us. Whether it is being traded or losing a loved one, never underestimate the power of forgiveness." The National Hockey League Players Association, the National Hockey League, and NHL clubs have commited their assistance to this endeavour through funding, tickets and other available resources, indicitave of the full support the Snyders's have received from the entire hockey community.
