Novice AA, 2015-2016 (Belle River District Minor Hockey Association)

Parents, this is one of the key teaching points we've emphasized with the kids this season, so please let them have a look at this short video; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u41enfM-DF8 Hockey Hall of Famer Scott Stevens is talking about how important 'stick on puck' is at the NHL level, but we think it's something that applies at every level. Cheers 

Here's a good strength & balance improvement exercise that the kids can do while they're watching TV at night; http://www.omha.net/news_article/show/559903?referrer_id=840406&utm_source=OMHA+Newsletter&utm_campaign=1306c0834d-OMHA_Insider_June_20_20146_20_2014&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_b6d7feeb0c-1306c0834d-37283817 Read the article first before trying it because you'll want to make sure the spin angle, and hip-knee-ankle alignment are right.

Parents ... if you're pressed for time running between schools and rinks, these shakes are a healthy source of energy for the kids; http://www.omha.net/news_article/show/522553?referrer_id=840406&utm_source=OMHA+Newsletter&utm_campaign=a0bb098355-OMHA_Insider_June_20_20146_20_2014&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_b6d7feeb0c-a0bb098355-37283817
