Why doing less - more often - actually works
Scott and Jamie sit down with Coach Kevin, founder of hockeytraining.com, for a much-needed reset on youth hockey training. Kevin shares his own winding path getting cut late from AAA, stepping away to play football, finally breaking through at 20 and how those experiences shaped his no-nonsense approach to development.
The conversation centers on one simple idea: most kids don’t need more sessions, more teams, or more chaos...they need consistent, manageable work they’ll actually stick with.
In this episode:
- Why 10 minutes a day of stickhandling beats marathon workouts
- The hidden downside of too much ice and too little free play
- How training should change as kids get older without burning them out
- Why road hockey, off-ice work, and lower-commitment programs still matter
Simple, practical, and refreshingly realistic - this episode gives parents a better plan than just adding another skate.
