Pre Puberty Hockey Development – The Case for Multi-Sport Exposure

The 200 Foot Player

High-Performance Living Symposium Review One of the things I enjoy doing most is learning from intelligent individuals, who would care less about the sport of hockey.

This past weekend I had the opportunity to visit New York City and attend the High-Performance Living Symposium, hosted by Equinox. The day was full of events where we got to engage industry leaders in movement, nutrition, and regeneration. Topics of discussion included: the…

Hockey Skills Canada Experience

Hockey Skills Canada Experience

Coaching , , , , ,
Hockey Skills Canada Experience A few weeks ago, I was selected along with 15 other coaches to attend the inaugural Hockey Skills Canada Coach Program in Calgary. Interestingly, what was clear from day 1 is that the practices of Hockey Canada are changing and we were going to be challenged. Our task was to share our perspective, ideas, and vision to help influence and drive this shift. Openness and willingness to grow In short, I can say that this collaborative opportunity was awesome. This was a  great experience. We all checked our Egos at the door and had many positive discussions.…
