Do YOU have the Heart of a Champion?

Here comes an epic Tweet about one of the most storied championship teams in history.

Superstars learned the hard way that it takes something more than having the most talented team -- at least on paper.

Do YOU have what it takes?

👇
You don't have to be a hockey fan to know their names.

Wayne 'The Great One' Gretzky
Mark Messier
The Edmonton Oilers

Five Stanley Cup Championships in 7 years.

But before all that success came a critical

-- and necessary --

failure.
Standing in the way of the young superstars were the New York Islanders, winners of 4 consecutive cups.

That LAST of those 4 cups came at the expense of the Edmonton Oilers.

They THOUGHT they had played their hearts out and given their all -- until...
Until they were walking back to their dressing room and looked into the Islander dressing room.

All through that dressing room were players icing down one injury or another.

They played through injury.
They played through pain.

Losing was NOT an option for them...
The young Oilers learned a lesson that day, about perseverance.

One year later, they won their first championship.

Who did they beat?

The same New York Islander team.
