This should be required watching for everybody involved in youth hockey.
@HockeyThinkTank Youth anything including education. Every kid is expected to be elite at every content area. And for what. Pressure is unbelievable. Oh, and then, brag about your awesomeness on social networking so maybe a coach will find you.
@HockeyThinkTank My kids are just hitting the age where Learn to Play hockey programs are part of their lives. I feel like this goes double for parents who may have been lucky enough to play their sport at a higher level. Let kids be kids. Plenty of time for drills. You have to love the game 1st
@HockeyThinkTank It's harder to coach hockey because the game requires so much technical skill. We still have to teach those skills. Kids won't learn the skills in scrimmages.
