The recruitment process is not transparent.

There’s no list.
No explanation.
No clear starting point.

By the time you engage it—
you’ve already been evaluated.

It's not random

This book is the insight you need.

@fosportz I’d be happy to pay for access to the files if they aren’t being posted publicly.

[Trevor Hunt @hckeyjunkie]

@fosportz where do I find the on demand videos from URI hockey this weekend?

[Trevor Hunt @hckeyjunkie]

@fosportz It will take days to get posted?

Hockey coaches looking for great development related podcasts should not ignore those using soccer as the sport of focus. Soccer and hockey are team invasion sports and are very similar in principles of play, tactical play and coaching approaches. There is lots of transfer.

Ryan makes total sense here.
Remember the last time an Oilers GM acquired a goalie just for the sake of acquiring a goalie.

Matthew Schaefer finished his interview on set with NHL Network, shook hands with the people at the desk. Then walked behind and shook hands with all the audio people and camera people as well. Small things are big things. Impressive young man.

The #Isles not only put a cancer ribbon on Schaefer’s jersey, but also embroidered the inside of his collar with his mother’s initials “JS”. Amazing touch. 💜

Some parents struggle with it.

Their child isn’t getting much playing time. What do they do?

I’ve lived it.

My son was the 9th/10th man on our varsity BB team for two years; he didn’t play in every game.

I could have gotten upset with the coach.

But there was one problem...

I was the coach.

I had coached that group since youth basketball. And in grades 1–8, my philosophy was always the same: every kid plays, every kid gets time.

But high school sports are different. And I was the varsity coach.

Once you get to the varsity level, the focus shifts to competition and winning.

That’s reality.

My son understood that. He embraced his role.

He led, encouraged, practiced hard, and made our team better.

And I was proud, not because he scored points, but because he became a leader and a great teammate.

Skills that have greatly benefited him as he becomes an adult.

So, what can parents do to make peace with their child's playtime?

Here are 3 reminders:

1. Accept the struggle
High school sports are competitive. That’s the point. You compete with others and with yourself.
The joy is in the process, the grind, the growth.
The struggle isn’t the problem; it’s the path.

2. It’s their struggle, not yours
It’s your child’s journey.
Not your minutes. Not your stats. Not your story.
Support. Cheer. Encourage.
But don’t cross the line into control.

3. The struggle is the teacher
Adversity builds strength.
If you remove every obstacle, your child won’t be ready when life gets hard, which it will. Jobs. Relationships. Health. Finances. Loss.

The lessons from sports? They’ll carry over.

Parents, come to peace with playing time.

Not because it’s easy. But because it’s worth it.

And one day, you’ll look back and realize:

The struggle was the blessing.

Many parents believe getting their child on a stacked team is the best path to success. But when the scoreboard is lopsided, the opportunities for real growth and character development disappear. Story from Robert Pallante of Mental Performance Mastery. https://t.co/GyWMdS3xQK

"To fund his golfing ambitions, McIlroy's parents took on extra jobs. Gerry worked 100 hours a week; he cleaned toilets and showers at a local sports club in the mornings, served as a bartender at Holywood Golf Club from 12 to 6 pm, then returned to the sports club to work behind the bar in the evenings. Rosie looked after Rory during the day, and worked night shifts packaging rolls of tape at a 3M factory in Bangor, County Down. Due to their conflicting schedules, McIlroy's parents rarely saw each other during this period. Gerry later said: "I had no idea what else to do. I’m a working-class man. We wanted to give our only child a chance."

After finding success as a professional golfer, McIlroy bought his parents a house in 2009, and stated: "I’ll never be able to repay Mum and Dad for what they did, but at least they know they’ll never have to work another day. I’ll do whatever it takes to look after them."

Incredible scenes in Medicine Hat tonight.

Just five days after the passing of his father Derek, Harrison Meneghin records a 21-save shutout for the Tigers.

Nolan Lewis had just come off the ice!His team Westwood HS scores the OT winner.Rather than join the team right away in the pile, he made his way the down the bench to celebrate with a freshman who was the only player who was not dressed! Hockey is built different! ⁦⁦

@stickshattricks @DaveDawson7 CHL is already expanding…the path to both D1 and pro will be through the CHL, leaving Junior A in Canada as more regional/provincial with no real path beyond that.
