Connor Carrick on using social media to be a positive influence in the world: “I don’t want to just sit there on my phone all day, scrolling until my thumbs hurt. At the same time, if I can be a positive influence on others, help them live a more inspired life, have a more action-filled life, I think that’s important. Whether you’re a big-name player or not, at some point in our lives, we are all influential people in our hometowns, in our community, or in the city we play in. We can use that to be positive. You just don’t know the exponential growth on the other side of what you ignite. All the people you can touch it’s an amazing thing to think about. I found that really exciting.” [NHLPA]
