This is absolutely embarrassing...
Hockey, esp youth hockey, has no place for this. GROW UP.
I am not against making a living from the game of hockey BUT this is so unnacceptable. Get out of our game.

This guy is getting roasted enough so all I will add to this is : You only live once. College will ALWAYS be there. The opportunity to play junior hockey which COULD lead to playing D1, D3, Club or D2 Club Hockey is GONE FOREVER once you age out. Don’t look back & wonder what if
There's something very wrong when 21-year-olds are regularly incoming freshmen playing Division 2 college hockey.
Throwing away three years of your life to play Division 2?

The power of visualization cannot be understated.
If you suffer from pre game nerves, this will help. If you want to play “faster” on the ice (make quicker decisions), this will help. If you don’t want to be a drill kill in practice, this will help.

DISCLAIMER - if you don’t like cuss words, don’t watch this.

You should be saying these exact same types of things to yourself every time your training to get better

• Flexibility is passive
• Mobility is being able to control all different positions and ranges of motion
• You need to train your adductors
• You need to load your mobility

True agility does not come from set patterns !!!!! Start incorporating drills where you have to REACT to an external cue (visual, auditory) - Hockey is the fastest game on earth and to be truly agile you have to be able to read and react in an instant ! Try this on for size

————————
You want 3 SIMPLE things to work on that I GUARANTEE will make you a better hockey player that takes little to no effort (just a lot of focus)

2️⃣ Stick Pressure
3️⃣ Shoulder Checking and Use of Peripheral Vision ALL OVER THE ICE !!!

This is why playing professional hockey is so much fun in Europe !! Fans are PASSIONATE. Players and fans have a lot more interaction both on the ice and off of it. Sports are entertainment !!!

I hope every organization in youth hockey is FORCING their coaches (maybe even parents) to take a short online course like the one I just took. Playing through a knee, ankle wrist has far different long term implications than playing while concussed.

I know so many retired hockey players that need hip surgery when they hit their late 40s, 50s or 60s. The hockey stride is not a natural movement like walking or running. Exercises Like this help performance in the short term but also with health and longevity in the long term !

This is nasty. Hockey coaches, this is a simple and FUN drill you can add to your warm up routine. Throw out the old school, stale, boring dynamic warm up you don’t day after day after day. In my experience at all levels, most players are completely disengaged during those
Perceptual-cognitive training should be programmed like any ofthe other skills commonly found in an ATHprogram. We believe there should be blend, where the focus isnt solely on the motor output,but also on the input. This plays an important role in developing thehuman mvt system.

I hope parents realize, people selling you on your 7 yr old needing to leave home to play isn’t necessary
Hockey Parents…Pro tip:
If you want your kid to play in the NHL, playing hockey with them in your driveway or basement from 5-10 years old will pay infinitely more dividends then sending them away to a super team at 14.
