Without me going on a rant about how bad this is for hockey development, maybe I’m missing something here so someone explain the purpose of doing this?
The problem in hockey development isn’t lack of information, it’s lack of clarity.
Families aren’t failing because they don’t care. They’re stuck because too many decisions feel good in the moment but don’t build anything sustainable.
Real development creates feedback, compounds over time, and produces outcomes you can actually measure. If you can’t explain why a decision helps your player grow — on or off the ice — it’s probably noise, not progress.
0/10 habits that are destroying your hockey development. Follow to get ahead of the game ✅
This is still hockey development.
What Coach Kevin said hit home … growth doesn’t only happen on the ice.
Balance matters. Movement matters. Being a kid matters.
🏒 ➕ ⛳️➕ 🏊♂️➕ 🏋️
It all carries over.

Dr. Smushkin was by far, hands down, THE toughest coach I've ever had in my entire life. No one comes close to how much he cared about hockey development.
From the former Soviet Union, I grew up with him since I was 9, travelled the world with him, toughened me up for the game of life. I never would be the person I am without him 40 years later.
Perfection was THE standard with him.
If you've been to our facility and see how we run this place, that's him everywhere.
If you're a Smushkin guy, you know. I miss this man.

🎥 It’s Still a Game: Build Skills Through Fun & Play 🏒🎯
Hockey development doesn’t have to be all reps and structure—fun is a powerful teacher.
This simple game of tag focuses on evading while skating backwards, and it naturally develops:
✅ Edge control
✅ Crossovers & direction changes
✅ Quick bursts & reactions
Sometimes, the best development happens when players don’t even realize they’re training. Let them play—and watch the skills take off.
Big thanks to @ilya.khanenko for the creativity and purposeful play! 💡🔥

Fear shows up for everyone.
The difference is what you do after it shows up.
The best players don’t wait for confidence to arrive — they take action anyway.
They move forward, compete, and trust their preparation, even when fear is present.
That’s how growth happens.
That’s how success is built.

Compound interest in hockey development.
Years ago, we built the basic backward inside-foot mechanics without the puck—teaching the skill at the appropriate age and competency level. Now look at him go once the puck is added and he’s comfortable.
The puck matters. It reinforces better skating habits—staying in your stride, maintaining body position, and being ready for the next play.
Small improvements compound.
