Centre Stage
The AHL’s Ryan Carpenter wears his faith on his hockey stick, for others to see and share.
By Jayne Thurber-SmithFormer San Jose Sharks centre Ryan Carpenter had hockey in his blood. But as a Christian, he welcomes the opportunity to share his testimony with others, and he writes “Romans 5:8” on every hockey stick he uses. “It’s a very simple way of sharing the gospel with others. I’m very thankful the love of God is always the same toward us, when we’re getting it right and even when we’re not.”
