Norwood, NY – As classes commenced for the spring semester at SUNY Canton on Monday, members of the Roos men's hockey team took time out of their morning to take part in Norwood-Norfolk Elementary and Middle Schools annual Kindness Day.
 
Members of the men's hockey team greeted students on their way into school and promoted acts of kindness.
 
Norwood-Norfolk varsity student-athletes, teachers and members of the local volunteer EMT's and firefighters as well as members of the SUNY Potsdam women's hockey team also took part in the Kindness Day. This is the third year the Roos hockey program has taken part in the initiative.
 
Head Coach Alex Boak is a graduate of Norwood-Norfolk and believes getting the team involved out in the community is important.
 
"For me, throughout college giving back to the community was always a high priority. Having our student-athletes participate in something that means a lot to a surrounding community and to the community that I grew up in and helped me get to where I am now, means a great deal to both that school district and myself."
