| Team Canada captain Shane Doan |
CAPTAIN Shane Doan led Team Canada to an IIHF World
Hockey Championship last month.
Doan also made headlines over allegations that he had
made derogatory comments about a French-Canadian referee. However, NHL
officials declared he had been cleared of any wrongdoing well over a year
ago.
One positive thing stressed in the media coverage was
the fact that Doan is a committed Christian. In a recent issue of Faith & Friends, the 30
year old captain of the Phoenix Coyotes credited his Christian
upbringing

“My dad is one of the godliest men I’ve
ever met,” he said. “I grew up in the best family you could
possibly have.”
His faith also helped him through a back
injury. “You need to accept what God is doing in your life. You may
have questions but you don’t let them consume your thoughts. You have
to enjoy the blessings of every day.”
