Social Networking

While not necessarily a hockey blog entry, there comes a time when one must think past hockey and try to determine what they are going to do with their life.  You can turn to a social networking for students site to see what kind of information you can find.  Perhaps you'll even be mentored by a hockey professional at some point.

Here's a link to a blog entry that was posted.  Ask yourself this question - if I knew then what I know now, would you make the same career choice?

Note: this is just a dummy blog to get a link to another site.  Do by all means check back here down the road, as we'll be posting more information once the site launches.

Last season I watched my son progress in his first season of hockey that utilized the ADM approach.  Definitely saw some advantages with this, but I also discovered a few things that I thought could use some improvement.  If you'd like to ready my blog on hockey for kids, it describes what I saw in a season that utilized the American Development Model.

Read on and let us know what you think.
