Way too much Crosby, where was Lidstrom? Fun, but I was hoping for some youth captain tips. Thx
Thanks for the Great video.
What are your insights on captains at the youth hockey level. I was never a fan of them because I could not see the true value. Most coaches appoint captains based on team votes which turns it into a popularity contest. The age group I am referring to would be Squite, PeeWee and Bantam levels.
Thx
I think at younger ages assigning a captain is not necessary. A captain is a leader among the other team mates, and at a young age the leaders are the coaches. To keep things fair you can always have a rotating “C” that changes every month or so, this way players will be rewarded for leadership and good sportsmanship.
Good work here Jeremy. I might be compelled to write a post for your training site. Give me some good reasons for doing so. I get requests to do product reviews sometimes but that can cost $$ after all my time is worth something.
You may want to get your rank up a bit more first. What we could do for now is link our sites. You could be a Allsports friend on my blog roll and I could appear on your blog roll. Then I could maybe do a short post.
