Education is #1-
The value of an education can never be underestimated. It should be the #1 priority of every young player. Our focus is on the opportunities that derive from being a quality student -athlete. Every young player dreams of playing pro. However, the average length of a NHL player’s career is 4.5 years. The odds of playing in the NHL and actually making it your lively hood are minimal, but it is possible.
The odds are much higher in playing college hockey. If a young player develops on the ice and in the classroom he may have a chance to get his degree and receive a scholarship, which is the ultimate reward.
We will discuss all aspects of education, as well as, the process of choosing a school.
Work Ethic and Character -
Anything worth while in life requires a strong work ethic. It is the foundation of success in all facets of life. To have success as a constant requires character. Many will experience short-term success but to achieve long term success requires mental toughness.
The difference with success, or lack of, is simply work ethic. Many people get complacent when they achieve a certain level of success. The people that are diligent in their work always want more out of life. They exemplify the character and work ethic needed to attain long term success. Successful people use many of the same characteristics they learned in sports and apply them in the business world.
Goal Setting -
To set goals in life is a smart way to chart development. It is very important to have a detailed plan to help outline your future. These goals must be realistic and attainable. We will outline the difference between short term and long term goals.
In addition, learning the importance of creating a structured schedule to assure that the proper amount of time is dedicated to each goal. The self -satisfaction associated with achieving a goal(s) is very rewarding and helps raise your confidence level.
Strength and Conditioning -
We will discuss the importance of training properly. To avoid serious injury at a young age, it is imperative that players and parents are educated in this area. There are many questions surrounding off-ice training and we will provide accurate information.
The ability to increase body strength properly will increase the chance of playing at a higher level. It benefits a player’s skating, shooting, puck control and overall game immensely. However, there are no short cuts and many of the techniques and philosophies of strength and conditioning are linked to maturity.
Say No To Drugs and Alcohol -

We will discuss the importance of surrounding yourself with good people as friends and how to avoid the daily “peer pressure” that exist. Along with education, which brings the most reward is this issue which can bring the most destruction.
