Control What You Can Control. Stickhandling at home, shooting at home, strength and conditioning at home, strengthening your core at home, studying your favorite NHL and college players on line or televised games. Learn from them, watching them is improving your own hockey IQ. Prioritize sleep, hydrate, and pay more attention to your nutrition as athletic fuel for your body. Ask your parents if you can build an outdoor rink, even a small one, at home. You can go to Home Depot and buy the supplies or the rink kits on line and build one together over the holiday break.

If you are in your recruiting years, reach out to coaches and people you trust for help.  Many times the right people advocating on behalf of your player will be the difference maker. He or she has already done their job, for many years.  When I made the Penguins, I was in my tenth year pro. It was the first time in my life I was invited to training camp without a contract. I attended their rookie camp with eighteen year olds. Hockey is humbling for all of us at times. Builds character and armor, makes you a hungrier and grittier. A better player. One thing for sure is that the hockey community is tight and we are all willing to help each other. Wishing everyone a happy and healthy holiday season. Bruins Camps, AAA Boston University Camps, AAA Hockey East Camps at Providence College, Day Camps, Clinics Privates and Small Group Skill Development every Saturday and Sunday.  Practice with Mr. Assist.
