I am going to try and watch what I can and see these real heroes perform after their injuries. I'm a big baby when it comes to these things so I will try not to shed too many tears. Lest anyone be confused, they are tears of admiration and joy for these brave humans who don't let anything stop them. A true inspiration, that isn't just paying lip service.
I am actually looking forward to it more than the NHL season opener. When I'm not rooting for Canada (I have my beef with Canada but have never had a problem with a Canadian soldier), I will root for any and all athletes who perform to their potential.

Invictus Games Toronto 2017
The Invictus Games Story »
Most of us will never know the horrors of combat. Many servicemen and women suffer life-changing injuries, both visible and invisible, while serving their countries. How do they find the motivation to move on and to not be defined by their injuries? How can they be recognized for their achievements?
The Invictus Games Foundation »
The Invictus Games Foundation was established in London, England, in 2014 to pursue and develop the legacy of the Invictus Games, Prince Harry’s adaptive sport event for injured, ill and wounded servicemen and women and veterans.
Why Canada? »
Hosting the Games in Canada in 2017, the year the country celebrates the 150th anniversary of its Confederation, will provide a unique opportunity for Canadians to commemorate and honour its ill, wounded and injured soldiers, and their families.

The Organizing Committee »
Founded in August 2015, the Invictus Games Toronto 2017 Organizing Committee is tasked with bringing the Invictus Games to Toronto, Ontario, in 2017. After the UK Invictus Games Foundation awarded the Games to Canada, the Invictus Games Toronto 2017 Organizing Committee was established to build on the success of the London 2014 and Orlando 2016 Invictus Games to put on an event that will capture the imaginations of the Canadian public, corporations and governments, as well as soldiers, veterans and their families.
