This was great! I coach my 5 year old Intiation hockey team, and I will definitely take this advice to heart.

Thanks for the post.

Great info once again Kevin. I’ve watched the Will Smith video in the past and it’s pretty motivational.

Really well said Kevin – I am going to just send this link over to all the parents who ask me the same question. A shame when kids get evaluated as a player based on their size as a 13 year old. How many kids are tiny at 13 and then become monsters by the time they are 18?

Great article Kevin!
Cheers,
Maria

Hi Kevin,
Thanks for all those great mails that i read with lots of pleasur and interest.
Because i trust you thrue your vision of life and hockey, i would like to ask you something.
My son Kevin 19 years old (bd92) wants to play USHL next year. Big challenge but good goal i think. What do you think: do we just have to subscribe and go to USHL try-outs or do we better take a player-agent who can lead us thrue is contacts? And of course, if you think it’s best to have an agent, i would trust the eyes closed the one you would introduce to me.
Thank you for all your help in conditionning and take care.
Olivier

Comment on Will Playing More Hockey Make You Better? by Kevin Neeld

Erik-Easy on paper. It’s a tough sell for the players, their parents, and the coaches of both club and high school teams. And to be honest, that’s only half the battle. The year-round competition and spring/summer select tournaments are a huge part of the problem. The kids don’t have an off-season and the time when they should be playing without structure just to have some fun with their friends is being occupied by “exposure opportunities”.

I was the assistant coach of UMass Amherst’s Women’s Hockey Team for a year. Other than that, the majority of my on-ice work was in running clinics. Most of my time now is spent off the ice.
