“...they accomplished these dreams while everyone
around them told them it was impossible.”

Brett grew up in a hockey family, as his dad has been a part of the NHL for over 40 years. A member of the Inaugural National Team Development Program and 2000 World Junior Team with USA Hockey, Brett also played Jr. Hockey in Canada and at the collegiate level for the University of Notre Dame. He was drafted by the New York Islanders before a back injury ended his on-ice career.
A short time ago there used to be small talk before the start of every
season, such as “This could be the year we see a player score
100 goals.” Names such as Brett Hull, Wayne Gretzky, Mario Lemieux
and a few others were thrown into the mix. This small talk has been
replaced with, “I hope we have a 50 goalscorer this season” talk.
With this thinking, came the idea behind the Score100goals company,
started by Brett Henning in 2008. Dream big,“100 goals” big. Just like
anyone who has laced up a pair of skates, Brett dreamed about playing
in the NHL. Unfortunately, this dream did not materialize. After an injury
forced him out of the game and into the real world he looked around and
realized that he was not the only one that had big dreams growing up.
And then because of thousands of reasons (time, self-esteem, money,
education, etc.), the dreams fade and you become satisfied with just
reacting to life’s circumstances. Despite every reason the critical
voice inside your head tells you why something is not possible, Brett
wants you to quiet that voice so you can dream big and reach the
impossible. The company name, Score100Goals, refers to the 4-minute
mile or Mt. Everest of hockey. To even mention or think about scoring
100 goals in a season seems impossible. But why not? Kids should be
growing up dreaming that they are the players that will score 100 goals in
a future season. And if you are a goalie, defenseman, or 50-year old beer
league player, then take your individual dream, and make them come alive.
(Can’t figure out how to justify this text for some reason)
I would love one day to walk into the Hall of Fame and see a player
holding a puck that says 100 on it. How will that happen if today’s
kids don’t even dream of the possibility
