Certainly seeing more kids on the ice all spring then ever before. Tournament teams, clinics, select and prospect leagues, in-house, 3v3, etc. With all the potential development we should see some solid competition from B, BB & A teams come fall. Now that kids are committing their time with coaches and programs and setting themselves up for tryouts we are also seeing the coach/team announcements from the clubs. That brings us to the topic of conversation... Who are the coaches, teams & clubs that have your attention? Are you sold on a program, opportunity, philosophy? Chasing letters?
Seeing the politics, drama and movement of coaches and players from club to club has people scrambling. It’s easy to see and is often a topic of conversation between parents. As a parent myself I am trying to stay out of it and not get caught up in it, let the kiddo forge his path. That said this forum is both informative and entertaining so I welcome your input, discussion, insights and shared experiences. Hockey is fun.
