As an aspiring athlete growing up in Burlington, Ottawa Senator Cory Conacher knew what it felt like to be excluded.
?When I was 14, I was cut from the triple-A team because of my diabetes. I want to give back and help the kids today prove wrong all of those people who tell them they can't do something.?
Conacher, diagnosed with diabetes at 13, is a volunteer instructor with the Dskate Hockey summer camp, an instructional program designed for children with type-1 diabetes.
