COACHES: This is a great teaching clip for an extremely underrated concept in hockey that we need to be talking about more:

Beat your man up the ice.

Watch Hoglander chip the puck around Bouchard off the draw and beat him up ice to get rewarded with the goal. It's like he's shot out of a cannon.

Bouchard needs to get a piece of him at the blueline but Hoglander does a great job side-stepping and then really getting on his horse to win the race to the net.

The game is all about races and battles. They happen all over the ice. This is a great clip demonstrating the importance of winning those races and beating your opponent up ice.

Parents of young athletes:
You're being sold a bill of goods…

Early specialization…

It's a fear campaign…

Its a billion dollar dumpster fire saying:
To become a great athlete you must:
Specialize early…
Train year-round…
Compete often…

If you don’t your child is going to miss out and fall behind

And for the most part:
 It’s complete bullshit…
What it really is:

Early Development of sport-specific skills

Early success in sport

Little to no development of fundamental movement skills

Poor performances later in the sport

Higher chance of injury

Higher Chance of Burnout from Sport

Early start…Early finish!

It's a complete lack of understanding of how humans develop…

During the first 14 years of Life:
Be a human first: 
Do plenty of activities that involve:
Rolling
Crawling
Climbing
Reaching
Bending
Rotating
Standing (1 foot)
Changing levels:

Be an athlete second:
Sprint
Jump
Hop
Climb
Wrestle
swim/bike/ski
catch/kick/throw/trap Etc

Sprinkle in lots of activities and multiple sports! 

I can't guarantee a Div 1 scholarship but I can say that kids will be more Coordinated, stronger, more flexible, cardiovascularly fit, more resistant to fatigue and injury, and also be calmer, less stressed, leaner, and able to learn new skills. Skills like complex sports specific skills.

@DougBurgum Why so critical @DougBurgum Has it been to long to remember that it was a deal signed by president Trump that withdrew from Afghanistan and then Biden had to deal with? You’ve been a North Dakotan or so you claim your roots that you should know better. Be true to yourself.

Haha… never quit on the puck.

Every parent that has a kid in youth hockey - or youth sports in general - needs to read this article. It should be required reading.

WATCH: University of Mary hockey took the ice this morning for the first time as an ACHA M1 team.

With a senior-heavy roster, this will be a decisive year for the program moving forward.

The mid-infrared instrument (MIRI) has given us the sharpest and clearest view of the faint halo outside the bright ring. Physical features within suggest there may be a companion star helping to sculpt the layers thrown off by the dying star.

In 1916, Tsar Nicholas II and King George V, both grandsons of Queen Victoria, met for what would be their last encounter. This single photograph, captured during a time of immense geopolitical turmoil, tells a story that goes beyond family ties and reveals the complexities of the early 20th century.

During this period, Europe was embroiled in the First World War, a conflict that brought devastating consequences to nations across the continent. Tsar Nicholas II, the ruler of the Russian Empire, and King George V of the British Empire found themselves on opposing sides of this global conflict.

Tsar Nicholas II's reign, which began in 1894, was marked by significant challenges and discontent within Russia. His autocratic style of governance, coupled with the country's economic hardships and social inequalities, sparked widespread unrest. Furthermore, his reluctance to embrace political reforms and address the grievances of the Russian people would have dire consequences.

In 1917, against the backdrop of war and internal strife, the Russian Revolution erupted. This revolutionary movement, led by the Bolsheviks under Vladimir Lenin, sought to overthrow the tsarist regime and establish a socialist state. Tsar Nicholas II and his family were eventually captured and held in custody by the revolutionary forces.

Tragically, the fate of the Romanov family was sealed. In July 1918, they were brutally executed by the Bolsheviks, marking the end of centuries of Romanov rule in Russia. The execution of Tsar Nicholas II, his wife Alexandra, and their five children was a culmination of the revolutionary fervor and desire for radical change that had gripped Russia.

The photograph of Tsar Nicholas II and King George V in 1916 holds historical significance, not only because it captures a fleeting moment between cousins amidst a turbulent era but also because it serves as a stark reminder of the consequences faced by Nicholas II. His inability to address the grievances of his people and implement necessary reforms ultimately led to his downfall and tragic demise.

The execution of Tsar Nicholas II and the fall of the Russian Empire had far-reaching implications for the course of history. It paved the way for the establishment of the Soviet Union and the rise of communism as a major global force. The repercussions of these events would reverberate throughout the 20th century, shaping geopolitics and influencing subsequent world events.

Webb’s near-infrared camera (NIRCam) contributes thousands of baby stars, while its mid-infrared instrument’s (MIRI) contributions are clearest in the layers of diffuse, orange dust draping the top of the image.

Love this clip of Benn reading the play; constant scanning from track to the rush attack

Work to track inside the dots; stick on the ice; scan behind twice to see the late options & reads the puck carriers desire to cutback & delay

Multiple scans pre puck touch & in possession

Time to reinvent the wheel.
