Dallas Stars’ Post

What a great article that gets your mind going! The debate over hockey’s cultural epicenter—Canada or the USA—is a fascinating one. Both countries bring unique strengths to the game. Canada has the deep-rooted tradition and unwavering passion that make hockey feel like a national identity, with generations of superstars like Crosby, McDavid, and Bedard keeping the country at the forefront. Meanwhile, the U.S. is redefining the way #hockey connects with fans, leveraging entertainment, storytelling, and growing markets like Vegas, Seattle, and Utah to expand the game’s reach. The rise of women’s hockey and dynamic players on both sides, like Matthews and the Tkachuk brothers, show how the sport is evolving to be more inclusive and exciting than ever. Ultimately, it’s not about competition but collaboration in growing the sport. The future of hockey is exciting, and both nations are essential to shaping its next chapter. What do you think—has the U.S. taken the lead, or does Canada still own hockey’s heart and soul? #hockeydebate #

My drawing skills could use some work (haha), but for the past few years, this has been one of my favourite drills to run! We run this drill with the Calgary Canucks Jr. A Team a couple times per week. We always start the drill with two touch passes and then progress to one touch passes. Then we change directions to make sure players receive and give on both their forehands and their backhands. My favourite part of this drill is how easily it is to regress or progress the drill to adjust for the age and skill of your players. You can do this drill with U7 all the way to Pro. Regressions and variations (to name a few): - Make the square smaller - Have the players stop in the middle to make it a station pass/receive. - Stop and face the passer instead of a leading pass to always catch the pass and give the pass on the forehand. Progress to backhand when appropriate. Progressions and variations (to name a few): - Make the square bigger - Two touch passes then progress to one touch passes - BH receive and give, FH receive and give, BH receive FH give, FH receive BH give. Set these rules for the players in line as well. - Dirty passes (picking up with feet or behind the player) - Sauce passes - Add stationary or moving obstacles for players in line to have to find seems - Knock down passes in the air (this one would be really tough and might be challenging to get flow going with the drill) Can anyone think of other variations or regressions/progressions? Would love to hear them! The Coaches Site Hockey Calgary

Wait... this isn't how it normally works?!?! Honestly, it's a great story that shouldn't be a story, it should be the norm! ➡ Less than one percent of high school athletes go on to play D1 basketball. ➡ 2.5% of US male high school hockey players made it to NCAA Division I schools It's an amazing accomplishment for any athlete to play division 1 sports (D2 or even D3 as well). We should be teaching these kids to celebrate the accomplishment of being where they are more and more. We should be doing exactly what Drexel Athletes are doing!! High school teams should do this more and more. Youth sport teams should do this more. ➡ ➡ Co-workers should do this more!!!! Build a culture, the rest will follow. https://lnkd.in/eWkB5ata
