Was at the North Dakota v Wisconsin game, pulling for UND. The Badgers weren’t flawless, but they were impressive. Fast; DZ fortress; great sticks; and supporting all over the ice. @imseanavery was right…
It’s not about the scoreboard. It’s about how you show up. Effort. Habits. Teammates. Details. Because if you only show up to win, you’ll disappear when it’s hard. Show up for the standard. Article by Coach @WadeDavison34. https://t.co/adj5bE8fWv
@HockeyThinkTank Implemented penalty calling in practice recently: 20 pushups for a blatant penalty in game-situation drills. Play instantly cleaned up, and didn’t see a drop-off in intensity either…
Reasonable consequence that should translate well into games.
@chrispronger Right on! It will be an absolute grind in that little booth for a few days, but it’s 100% worth it.
Ps- I think I still have the Whaler hat and gear that Alita sent to us kids in Winnipeg after your draft. So, 32 years later, thank you for that.
Insightful read from Coach David Simoes, who reflects on childhood learnings that shaped how he coaches. "We have the power to say things that shape a child’s future. If we do it right, our words and actions can become echoes in someone else’s journey."

Your name is etched into the Book of Life. Your Spirit will live on forever. My son will know of your works.
Thank you for your service to this lost world. As long as good men are living, you will not be forgotten here.
RIP Charlie Kirk.
And though I’m relieved and excited for all the talented young players this will positively affect, I, unfortunately, now have to dust off my keyboard to rewrite a significant part of my book to be account for this historical change…😐
The CHL v NCAA dilemma is finally over!! Chaos and uncertainty may ensue for the junior leagues over the next years as they adapt to the rule change, but not having to make a life altering choice at 14-17 y/o is a major win for young players!
Tho leagues like the BCHL may face some tough challenges ahead, this change is ultimately for the greater good of ‘the kids in the arena’-the ones dedicating their lives to actually playing the game…sacrificing everything for a chance to make it big someday.
This would be a huge win for young hockey players facing the CHL v. NCAA dilemma. The stress and pressure of making such a consequential choice at 16-years-old was brutal for me, and so many others. A rule change is long overdue!
After playing his last game as a Hawk, the fans showered him with love and respect. True to his nature, he humbly responded to the praise by saying “I’m not worthy of this.” He might be the only person to have that opinion…@JonathanToews, you deserve it all!
In 2003, I was honored to present Jonathan Toews with the MVP award for the Winnipeg AAA Bantam league.
When his name was called as a nominee, he humbly stood up, nervously awaiting the verdict. Everyone knew he would win, but he took nothing for granted.
You couldn’t help but be energized and inspired by seeing him action. He made everyone want to work harder; to be better; to be the best they could possibly be.
For his relentless effort and dedication, he was rewarded with greatness with the game.
