(hockey players yelling)

2
00:00:04.628 --> 00:00:08.378
(ice skates scraping on ice)

00:00:09.445 --> 00:00:12.669 line:15% 
<v Jasmine>Without hockey I have no clue where I'd be.</v>

00:00:12.669 --> 00:00:15.657 line:15% 
<v Josh>The first time I stepped onto the ice I felt like</v>

5
00:00:15.657 --> 00:00:17.439 line:15% 
this is where I need to be.

6
00:00:17.439 --> 00:00:22.131 line:15% 
<v Kareyna>I feel free. I feel like I can't be stopped.</v>

00:00:22.131 --> 00:00:26.699 line:15% 
<v Onochie>I made friends with all the people.</v>

00:00:26.699 --> 00:00:29.499
<v David>Comcast Cares Day has become a celebration of</v>

9
00:00:29.499 --> 00:00:32.828
all of the service and of all the commitment back to

10
00:00:32.828 --> 00:00:36.144 line:15% 
the community that our employees engage in

11
00:00:36.144 --> 00:00:38.525 line:15% 
on a year-round basis.

12
00:00:38.525 --> 00:00:41.235
<v Jasmine>Snider Hockey means to me growing families</v>

13
00:00:41.235 --> 00:00:44.096
and bonding with teammates. It's not only hockey 'cause

14
00:00:44.096 --> 00:00:46.997
they help with family issues, they help with schooling,

15
00:00:46.997 --> 00:00:48.227
they help with everything.

16
00:00:48.227 --> 00:00:51.082
<v Josh>I just see a company like Comcast invests in</v>

17
00:00:51.082 --> 00:00:53.398
things like Snider Hockey. It makes me feel

18
00:00:53.398 --> 00:00:55.109
extremely thankful.

19
00:00:55.109 --> 00:00:59.411
<v David>This year was our 17th annual Comcast Cares Day.</v>

20
00:00:59.411 --> 00:01:03.202
We start with a clean-up around this rink.

21
00:01:03.202 --> 00:01:07.367
We bring two fantastic Olympic Gold Medalists to conduct

22
00:01:07.367 --> 00:01:09.226
the hockey clinic.

23
00:01:09.226 --> 00:01:12.617
But also to join with our employees in some homework help

24
00:01:12.617 --> 00:01:16.666
and academic support for the kids who are here.

25
00:01:16.666 --> 00:01:18.346
<v Jocelyne>Sports matter at a young age,</v>

26
00:01:18.346 --> 00:01:20.427
especially for young girls to stay involved and

27
00:01:20.427 --> 00:01:22.825
to learn life lessons that truly transcend

28
00:01:22.825 --> 00:01:24.468
into later in life.

29
00:01:24.468 --> 00:01:27.399
It's really two of our favorite programs coming together

30
00:01:27.399 --> 00:01:30.388
with Comcast and now one of the Ed Snider rinks.

31
00:01:30.388 --> 00:01:32.633
<v Monique>So we actually just learned today that Comcast</v>

32
00:01:32.633 --> 00:01:35.705
is gonna have their millionth volunteer

33
00:01:35.705 --> 00:01:38.247
involved in Comcast Cares Day which is pretty cool

34
00:01:38.247 --> 00:01:40.925
that they're already at that number.

35
00:01:40.925 --> 00:01:44.525
The amount of initiative that Comcast has, to be able to be

36
00:01:44.525 --> 00:01:48.105
a small part of the bigger picture that they see is really

37
00:01:48.105 --> 00:01:49.355
special for us.

38
00:01:51.676 --> 00:01:54.265
<v David>The internet is the most transformative technology</v>

39
00:01:54.265 --> 00:01:57.805
we've had in the world. But it's not equally accessible

40
00:01:57.805 --> 00:01:59.097
to everyone.

41
00:01:59.097 --> 00:02:00.883 line:15% 
<v ->You don't have internet at home and you don't have a</v>

42
00:02:00.883 --> 00:02:04.755 line:15% 
computer, it's impossible to do the homework.

43
00:02:04.755 --> 00:02:06.915
<v Jasmine>We only have one computer at home which you get</v>

44
00:02:06.915 --> 00:02:09.296
20 minutes try to do what you can and then pass it onto

45
00:02:09.296 --> 00:02:10.555
the next sibling.

46
00:02:10.555 --> 00:02:13.533
<v David>We want everyone to leave here tonight with</v>

47
00:02:13.533 --> 00:02:14.950
their own laptop.

48
00:02:15.873 --> 00:02:18.544
With their own Olympic Gear.

49
00:02:18.544 --> 00:02:21.294
(crowd cheering)

50
00:02:23.584 --> 00:02:26.684
The day we spent at the Laura Sims ice hockey rink was a

51
00:02:26.684 --> 00:02:29.276
fantastic day for our company.

52
00:02:29.276 --> 00:02:30.748
<v Jocelyne>To be on the ice and then be a part of the</v>

53
00:02:30.748 --> 00:02:33.628
laptop giveaway it truly is something that can change

54
00:02:33.628 --> 00:02:36.107
the trajectory of their life.

55
00:02:36.107 --> 00:02:38.170
Those are the things that we know are gonna last

56
00:02:38.170 --> 00:02:39.503
beyond our time.

57
00:02:43.078 --> 00:02:45.627
<v David>The program shows what Comcast can do</v>

58
00:02:45.627 --> 00:02:47.544
to change communities.
