String Manipulations

Can anyone provide information for how to retrieve the actual character
string from a CString object?

I am using the following code but it only returns the address of the string
and not the literal characters of the string. I know it has to be something
simple that I am overlooking but I have copied samples from MS that are
supposed to work but give the same results

CString strSports("Hockey is Best!");

TCHAR sz[1024];

lstrcpy(sz, strSports);

cout << strSports ;

If I follow documentation provided by Microsoft which states:
// while this line will put the content of the string out:

cout << (LPCTSTR) strSports;

I still only receive the address of the CString object at the console.

Please help!
