Pets can provide emotional therapy. Recent studies from the Journal of Behavioral Medicine have indicated that house pets can help speed up your child’s recovery time after an injury and reduce their stress, anxiety, and blood pressure. This is more pertinent for autistic children and those who suffer from PTSD. A pet also gives a child a safe space to pour out all their fears and anger. Without that, some kids project their emotions onto other children, often becoming bullies in the process.
On April 4, NHL teams will play the last games of the 2019–20 season, and playoffs will begin shortly after. While current NHL stars like Connor McDavid and Nikita Kucherov are sure to light up the ice, this is the perfect time of year to reflect on some of the greatest NHL players of all time.

Howe was known for being tough, and the term“Gordie Howe hat trick ‘’ was coined in his honor and is used when a player scores a goal, makes an assist, and gets into a fight all in one game. Aside fromWayne Gretzky, Howe is the only player in NHL history to record 800-plus goals. Bobby Orr Bobby Orr holds the record for the most points and assists by a defender in one season, with 139 and 102 recorded, respectively. He was known for surging forward to assist offense, and his style remains the gold standard for defensive play in the NHL. After retiring, Orr was awarded the Lester Patrick Trophy in recognition of his contributions to the sport. Wayne Gretzky Often labeled as the best hockey player of all time, Gretzky holds a long and storied list of records as an offensive player. He remains the only NHL player to record 200 points in a single season, which is a feat he accomplished not once, not twice, but four times. Gretzky also holds the record for most goals in a single season (92) and for being the fastest to reach 50 goals in a season in just 39 games.
