Many ask, “What can hockey do for a boy?”
Like almost everything else it can do much good

or

it can do much harm.

It will do harm if it be
directly responsible
for a boy
neglecting
his main
duty in life,
be it
his school work or
any other
kind of work.

There are few cases where hockey can be honestly pointed to
as the direct cause
of
this.
