After his second year at Michigan, Tom Brady wanted to transfer. He wasn’t playing in games, and he was so low on the depth chart that he only got 2 reps in practice. Brady met with his coach to express his frustration, “The other quarterbacks get all the reps.” Coach replied,

Jeff Daniels for the win for all hockey parents.

There’s no such thing as an elite 9 year old athlete. Nothing really matters until after puberty. Let’s stop the madness.

Hilarious text from a former teammate who has a pretty good little 8 year old player. And by hilarious I mean I can’t believe this is the youth hockey world we’re living in.

Early developers often dominate in ways that won’t benefit them in the future when everyone catches up. So skating fast and wide, shooting high on smaller goalies etc will get 12u wins but rarely works in the future.

Hockey can relate.

When I do team building with college/junior teams, I share this video every time. Negative conversations about the team in informal situations away from the rink can sink a culture. Energy is contagious.
