Do you feel the pressure in today's hockey culture to train all
year, play in numerous out-of-town tournaments, and pay thousands
of extra dollars so that your hockey player can compete with the
best? If so, you're not alone. Today's prevailing wisdom states
that year-round intense hockey training, starting at the youngest
ages, is necessary to develop elite hockey players. It argues that
families must choose between hockey and school events, family
dinners, study time, and other sports. The good news is that
families need not feel pressured to choose because this prevalent
hockey training philosophy is not only in many ways unethical, it
is also detrimental. Year-round intense hockey schedules are
damaging youth hockey player's futures. Too much hockey is hurting
athletes academically, socially, and ironically, athletically as
well.
We don't have to accept this state of affairs. Although time is
running out, we can still restore sanity and integrity to the game
of hockey. This won't be easy. It'll require families to start
resisting the arguably enormous pressure to always do more.
Community associations, coaches, professional hockey players, and
many others will need to step up in order to change the tide.
It's time to save our game.
