These thousands of reps in the driveway at this age are more valuable for development than the thousands of dollars a parent pays for private 1on1 on-ice coaching.
"I think people get it in their head if you travel more or leave home, it's better. It's not always better." Bill Guerin shares his appreciation for Minnesota community hockey.

Hockey Parents:
I had a call last week with a youth hockey player who is still…in the spring…practicing twice a day.
This is not the time to have the foot on the gas pedal. This is a time for rest and recuperation.
Burnout is a very real thing in youth sports and particularly youth hockey, which is becoming a twelve month a year sport.
Overuse injuries have become a very real problem in youth sports and particularly youth hockey with kids having hip and groin issues due to skating too much.
Now is the time to recharge the battery, play other sports, hell go on vacation. It's not the time to continue to pound it and work work work.
Parents of the 5 ‘09s went to a “better program.” What a joke! Spring hockey is about development, not wins and losses. Who better to develop your kid than a guy who played at the highest level?? 2/2
