The Cannons

Overview

For more than four decades, renowned coach Neal Henderson has made a significant impact on the youth of Washington, DC, leading the Fort Dupont Hockey Cannons. Established to give inner-city children a chance to participate in organized hockey, the Cannons hold the distinction of being the nation's oldest minority-led hockey program. As Henderson aims to secure the club's future, a fresh group of teenage players grapples with their place in the sport and questions whether hockey is truly for boys like them.
