Taylor Heise’s hockey career wasn’t about perfect conditions. It was about choosing home, community, and the right challenges, as she explains in this presentation from #TCSLiveMinnesota. @thepwhlofficial @PWHL_Minnesota @GopherWHockey

"The two skills I feel are neglected by coaches in youth hockey are passing and teaching our defencemen gap control. They are probably the two most important skills when it comes to building a difficult team to defend. These 3️⃣ drills will help." https://t.co/0AaJyGWsDY

Sometimes we’re lucky enough to encounter people who only want to see others flourish. Those people have no underlying motive. They don’t want credit for other’s gains or successes. They don’t use others to further themselves. They work from their hearts & are truly a blessing!

This is a really interesting story on the state of hockey in Massachusetts—and how we’re getting lapped by Minnesota. In a nutshell, youth hockey’s become business, with entrepreneurs preying on parents’ insecurities.

@Jlounsbury11 Love it!

[Jon Beck @CoachJonBeck]

Don’t be the player who is too cool to go hard. Whether in a workout or a game, 100% is the bare minimum. Cool has no place in the game. Cool won’t impress anyone, won’t get you more playing time, won’t ever get you better. Cool will keep you on the bench. Cool will get you beat!

Phone usage before practices and games: yay or nay? 🤔 Larissa Mills (@iparentgen) shares why allowing phones in the dressing room may be hurting player performance.

Coaches: Teach players to compete at the highest level of their ability. Don’t let them get away with mediocrity. Lowering team standards because they don’t want to raise theirs is detrimental all the way around. Teamwork & performance will suffer. Hold every player accountable!

Great point! Go shorter on the number of drills in favour of quality. The # of reps for a player to overcome some potential “struggle” with a drill/concept but then given the opportunity to have a level of success are critical for learning and growth. @SifWarriors

Long lines and few repetitions are the enemy of a good hockey practice. @coacharel reworks some drills to include more players and shorter to no lines. https://t.co/ZYhIoazCJC

A group of players on a Greater Toronto Hockey League U13 AA team took inappropriate and "sexually suggestive" photos of a teammate in their dressing room in October 2023 and then shared the pictures with each other and with classmates at school and also posted them on social media.
The victim's parents filed a complaint with Hockey Canada two months later against the team's head coach, alleging he did not do enough to stop "ongoing verbal and physical bullying by a select group of teammates that took place in an unsupervised hockey dressing room."
During a subsequent investigation, the coach admitted that while his team's dressing room door was typically propped open, he did not always supervise his players. (GTHL policy requires two screened adults must be close enough to dressing room with door propped open to monitor environment inside.)
The coach was suspended for two weeks and directed to complete a course on coaching responsibilities.
Safe sport experts tell me the incident is among the first where a coach has been held accountable for not properly supervising their players.
Details of the incident and sanction were published by the Sport Dispute Resolution Centre of Canada.
