Our Kids Play Hockey

In this episode of The Ride to The Rink Mike and Lee dive into the joys and opportunities of summer and spring league hockey. With the summer heat in full swing, it’s time to embrace the fun and freedom these leagues offer, while still focusing on personal growth and development.

In this episode, we discuss:
•The unique, relaxed atmosphere of summer and spring league hockey, with no practices and just one game a week.
•Encouraging kids to try different positions and roles on the ice to develop new skills and perspectives.
•The importance of maintaining good habits and sportsmanship, even in a less formal league setting.
•The value of playing multiple sports during the off-season to give the mind and body a break from hockey.
•How to balance having fun with staying competitive and focused on personal improvement.
•Engaging with new teammates and experiencing different playing styles to become a more well-rounded player.
Mike and Lee also stress the importance of making the most out of these less structured leagues. They remind players to keep their behavior in check and always be mindful of their conduct on and off the ice.
