"Find a soft spot in the interior" is more useful than saying "get to the net". It forces defenders into awkward situations and allows shooters more time and space to elevate pucks. Here are 5 goals involving soft spots from last night with notes.

Most summer hockey doesn't make your kid better. It makes him available, which is a different product than the one on the flyer, and the people selling it know exactly which one you're paying for.

“Hard practice is nothing compared to guidance from the right teacher”

[Hockey Dad in the Corner @dadinthecorner]

You can cheat your kid in hockey. More ice than everyone else, more privates, hockey only, year-round, starting at seven. And it works -your kid is better at 10, 11, 12. Then 13 or 14 hits. Physical development kicks in, and the kids who can actually train hard start training hard. The ones who are fresh take huge leaps. The ones who've been grinding for six straight years find out they're running on empty. You didn't give your kid an advantage. You borrowed against their future.

@_MikeOrcutt_ Very cool!!

[Kevin Middleton @coach_kevin_m]

The problem is not that kids do not want to win.

They do.

The problem is when winning becomes the only thing adults value.

There is a big difference between teaching players to compete and making them feel worthless when they lose.

[Hockey Dad in the Corner @dadinthecorner]

The quiet part out loud:

Youth hockey has a retention problem and the industry knows it.

Half the kids who play at 10 are gone by 14. The sport blames everything except the obvious: the cost, the pressure, the adults who make it miserable.

The ones who stay don't stay because of the programs. They stay because they still love it.

Protect that. It's the whole thing.

@chasmahoney But when will we practice D-Zone coverage, 5-0 breakouts…..🤦‍♂️

[Mike McMahon @MikeMcMahonCHN]

Oklahoma State (ACHA) adds two more D-I transfers, picking up (F) Reagan Mulburn (Lake Superior) and (D) Camden Shasby (Alaska Anchorage).

And many more. NHL must do better protecting players brains and providing them with mental health programs after their career is over

Former @NHLBruins enforcer Lyndon Byers has been diagnosed with stage 3 CTE. There are so many former and retired NHL players struggling with this horrible disease.
