Ford spent considerable time with members of the hockey team talking often of his dream of playing in the NHL. Brownlee memorializes the impact Ford had on his life and the lives of his teammates with the song lyrics:

"Your strength was more than a thousand men
We've all been amazed by you again and again
Your unselfish thoughts and care for another
Made me look up to you like you were my brother."

All proceeds from "The Hero I See" after manufacturing expenses are being donated by Chad Brownlee to the Anthony Ford Foundation in support of youth hockey.
