Thanks to @HockeyCanada for an unbelievable experience at U17 Development Camp. Amazing players and staff to work with! #TeamRed #PAC

The “real” maintenance day.

Hockey Parents - I just did a bit of a deep dive into the marketing of AAA organizations for their mite programs. So many in their marketing are touting player advancement, playing against elite competition, and elite development on ice/skills/off ice, etc... A few even bragged about Brick commitments. Comical. Only a select few had any mention of a development of a passion for the game, a love for the game, fun, things that actually matter at that age. Let's be clear, we are talking about 6-8 year olds. I see this kind of marketing and I think three things: 1. These people have NO IDEA what actual development looks like. 2. They know what development looks like, but only care about $$$. 3. They know what development looks like, but out of fear, ego, or because everyone else is doing it they feel like they have to. I have an 8 year old so this hits a little closer to home for me. I also get messages and notes from parents all over North America on this stuff. I'll just say it as upfront as I can - this mentality is ruining our amazing game. The FOMO it creates for parents at that age pushes them to other sports. The cost it forces parents at that age to put up pushes them to other sports. The stress it puts on blue collar families continues to rise - pushing great people and great families to other sports. That's the reality we continue to push towards if this mentality continues to spread. Parents - there's no need. There's no such thing as "ELITE" at that age - whether it's a kid or a program. Take a breath. Trust your gut and best common sense judgment. You know your kid best and what they need on their journey. It's a marathon, not a sprint.

@gregberge @Boycer22 Great post. Wish more would read it to understand.

Coaching looks fun from the outside. But once you’re in it, you learn some hard truths that most people never see. Here are 5 hard truths every coach needs to understand: [THREAD] 🧵

Interesting development for Atlantic Canadian players

A fun morning on the ice with Team Ireland U13 and U15 teams today helping them get ready for the @SEDMHA tournament. Great to see all the players and coaches again this year! Good luck @IIHA @Bedford_Blues

The amount of sharpening players and parents do now, it’s a no brainer.

@HfxMacs Thanks guys.

Happy Birthday 🎉 to former Titans Assistant Coach Andre Lefebvre

@TDC_Hockey We do lots of Read/React drills, trying to get players to make quick split second decisions instead of having “deer in the headlights” moments. Once comfortable with making a decision, then work on the proper ones with repetitions.

Hockey coaches…. One area I’ve seen lately players struggling in is with their “Hockey IQ” (I know beating a dead horse). Whether it’s skill coaches or just regular coaches, how are you trying to change that or work on it? Would love to discuss further! #HockeyTwitter
