100% truth. Too many players want to move up to the next level when they aren’t ready and get stuck in a spot that doesn’t fit them. Dominating at a level can help you grow so many different areas of your game and it also builds confidence!

From a longevity standpoint
All 85 NHL Players ages 30+ played at least 1 other sport growing up from ages 5-14 (100%)
Players ages 35+ have the highest average hockey start date (after they turned 5 years old) + highest average specialization age

The average NHL Player began skating and playing hockey after 4-years old & did not specialize until after the age of 14
The age of specialization most often provided by Players was 16 (mode)

In 1988…if you’re embarrassed play better.

“That’s the problem with these young players. You wanna embarrass guys? You wanna skill it up? You better be prepared to get punched in the mouth.” Coyotes broadcast applauds Jay Beagle cross-checking Trevor Zegras/beating Troy Terry senseless. Embarrassing commentary

When I launched Matty Talks, I knew he was a guy I wanted. We talked everything from his junior career with @Oshawa_Generals and @ErieOtters, to his time in the NHL and his post-playing career as a GM of @TheHillAcademy and advocate for @HeartandStroke.

When I was a kid, @mackattack_39 was my favourite player on the @Oshawa_Generals - I even got a signed stick from him for my birthday at a game.
His career was sadly cut short, and since then he's worked to advocate for heart health and develop the next generation of players.

Heard on @spittinchiclets most recent podcast w. Bill Guerin. "I believe you need to dominate your level before you move on to the next". Couldn't agree more. It's a marathon, not a sprint. Relax and enjoy the journey. YOUR journey.
