Unsurprisingly, the poll-takers don't talk a lot in public about the ignorance of the electorate on political and public policy matters.

I find that I've tried to become a better hockey player every year and not just hold on. At the same time, I've also made it a point to increase or grow in some other area of my life. If I were just playing hockey, I would probably be done with the sport.
