Lengthy tribute for Chris Kreider, followed by a rousing ovation from the MSG faithful. He even showed some emotion, coming off the bench for a lap to salute the crowd while patting his heart. #NYR

KIDS: Every level you go up, you'll see less and less players trying to beat defenders 1on1.

It's all about puck movement because it's harder and harder to beat players by yourself. Players are too good defensively at the next levels. Here are two great examples of really good players trying to go through a defender - but they turn it over and it goes the other way in transition for a goal.

If you have a coach preaching passing when you're younger - even if you're highly skilled and can beat defenders 1on1 pretty easily - that's a coach that's helping you to succeed at the next levels.

We wanted the team to be different.

It's hard to imagine more different than Kreider leaving.

Kreider gave it all for this team for a long time. Was as clutch as they come in the playoffs and genuinely a joy to watch.

Hard to process, he'll always be a favorite of mine.

Kreider stans, we welcome you to Orange Country with open arms!

Here's a really interesting stat that just came from my Americans in the NHL project I posted last week. One of the things I looked at was Date of Birth - looking to see if there was a "Relative-Age-Effect" in hockey. To put it simply, if you are a hockey player born in January do you have better chance of making the NHL than if you were born later in the year?

The data showed that there is some sort of effect, but it wasn't egregious. However, someone reached out asking if there were differences in effect in different parts of the country. When I went back and checked for different regions, what came back was eye-opening.

There are some regions of the country with little-to-no effect. There are others where the effect was profound. I used the areas around the country with the most players so it would be a little more statistically significant, but here's what I found:

For NHL players from Minnesota - 50% of the players were born in the first half of the year, 50% were born in the second half of the year.

From Michigan - 70% were born in the first half of the year, 30% in the second half.

From Massachusetts - 70% were born in the first half, 30% in the second half.

From NY/Atlantic - 46% were born in the first half, 54% in the second half.

From Illinois - 80% were born in the first half, 20% in the second half.

From New England - 45% were born in the first half, 55 were born in the second half.

The regions that have a more professionalized youth model and narrow the talent pyramid at way younger of ages...had a much higher relative age effect.

How many late bloomers (or just players born in the latter half of the year) are we not developing to their potential because of professional interests in hockey? How many elite players are we missing out on?

Going to the birth year model too early, it seems, may have a pretty significant negative effect on player development.

"I wanted to be coached.
I wanted a coach that would take me to a place where I probably wouldn't go if I tried my hardest still."

Don’t seek praise—seek the push.
Average players want to feel good now.
Great players crave the coaching that makes them elite tomorrow.
