By way of introduction...

Almost 3 years ago, I started a really great and ongoing experience of learning how to ice skate and play ice hockey.  As I've continued, I've worked my way up from Instructional Adult leagues to higher levels and have even started coaching.  While answering a question posed by one of the people I coach, I figured this might be a better way to share what I've picked up and hopefully learn from what others might want to share here.

Comments are always welcome!

Hockey is a great sport!  It combines so many elements, and it's the most challenging thing I've ever tackled.  It requires physical skill, hard effort and quick reflexes.  And it has a mental challenge that ranges from finding a way to draw more out of yourself to learning to have an understanding of the game, the strategies, and many other mental aspects.  It requires both great individual skill and efforts and tight teamwork.  It's a challenge on so many levels.

I hope you enjoy!

Also, Google gives some good results.

These sorts of things might help give you ideas and expand on what you've gotten from your coaching.
