Local Hockey Royalty in today.
Chris Finnerty Hockey School Ottawa is a Legendary Hockey Academy which developed countless NHL players, here with the awesome Mark Bell.
Mr Finnerty has just recovered from a stroke so we wish him well in recovery.
Please make room for more wishes
This year we have more people requesting and fewer funds as do all Canadians. If you can donate thank you. We are the only group in Canada where 100% goes to the athletes, unlike every other hockey charity.
Thank you for your consideration

Weโve arrived at the next big one. Diner advice is to always follow your gut. Hopefully it leads you here. If not, know that we tried, again. Clubhouse mania.
Our aim is to make food you can trust and food to be loved. The Diner has always been here for you with care, kindness and quality.

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.
