It just got harder to play college hockey.

With kids playing major junior now eligible to play college hockey, the reality is that there are a lot more players eligible for the same number of college hockey spots.

But even though it may be harder, here’s my advice for all the kids that want to play college hockey.

[Hawkesbury Hawks @hawkesburyhawks]

The Hawks are pleased to announce the addition of Danny Kananga to the flock. Danny has spent this past season playing at OHA. His exceptional energy and ability to secure puck possession and contribute effectively caught the attention of Hawks staff.

The best thing you can do as a teammate is bring your best in practice. The most selfish thing you can do as a teammate is not bring your best to practice.

Coaching, culture, and committment will beat NIL, NHL facilities and NHL draft picks everytime in March. #NCAAHockey

[Topher Scott @HockeyThinkTank]

Mike Brown was the last player picked on my hockey team at 15 years old. And Mike Brown was the only player to make the NHL from that team.

Too many kids get complacent, make excuses, or quit working when it gets hard. Mikey is living proof that if you find the positive in tough situations, and work harder than everyone else, you can achieve your dreams.

It’s a super-power. Check out this clip from our last podcast.

"Life responds to effort.
People want life to respond to their wishes, their desires, their wants, and needs.
It doesn't.
It responds to the effort you put in - every single time.
Without hard work, nothing good comes."

“Sometimes you’ve gotta fall back and make players reach for it instead of forcing it on them. Stop talking and do more listening. Ask questions and listen to the answers. Making them a part of the preparation. When you feel part of the preparation, you put more into the execution,” @dawnstaley

“I just decided long ago to not be resistant to change, to not be adaptable. I never wanted to be the dinosaur. To not be resistant to growth. Growth is a lifelong thing and I want to reflect that,” Mike Tomlin

“Leadership is the ability to influence others. If you can’t influence the team, you can’t lead that team. They have to trust you. Earn their respect first by being early, be last to leave, put in the work. Take responsibility for your play and be accountable. Earn their respect,” Peyton Manning

As someone who used to recruit for a living and now is involved in youth hockey, this couldn’t be more bang on for our sport too.
