Defining a Successful Hockey Season

Everyone wants to see young hockey players develop throughout the season.

Show Notes

What can be debated however is the definition of development. Are we talking slapshots and toe-drags or do we really believe
development encompasses more than just hockey skill? Beyond the metrics of goals and assists or wins and losses where does the importance of individual maturation, emergence of leadership skills and development of a strong work ethos rank? How do we define a successful hockey season at the start and finish of a season? How would the young athletes rank a season in terms of success and would that rank always correlate withs wins and championships? These are some of the issues that we attempt to explore in this episode. Enjoy!
