The test of a true champion is finding ways to win when things aren't going their way. When the chips are down and the odds are stacked against them, winners find ways to win. It's as simple as that. No, it may not always be pretty. And no they might not always deserve to win but winning or losing is not determined by the stat sheet. At the end of a night the team with the most goals wins, no matter what.

A good sportsman is someone who can face a loss with dignity, or a victory with humility. At the heart of good sportsmanship is the Golden Rule -- the rule that says we should treat others in the same way we would want them to treat us. It's a concept that can be found in some variation in nearly every religion and ethical tradition. Without it, life is devoid a necessary component to building and maintaining healthy human relationships. Good sportsmanship takes these mores and unequivocally declares that winning is not everything. Winning never takes precedence over principled action.
