Supplying anything less than an all-out effort simply isn’t part of Matt Hendricks’ makeup — and that effort goes well beyond the hockey rink
The Winnipeg Jets centre has been with the NHL team for just over two months, yet his contributions are already having a ripple effect within the organization and the community he now calls home.
For much of his career, Hendricks, 36, has been running a program with his wife, Kim, called “Hendricks’ Heroes.” On game days, two members of the military and their guests are treated to a Jets game, presented with signed jerseys and get their pictures taken with the veteran forward.
