Too Serious, Too Soon: The Professionalization of Youth Hockey - EP 343

Too Serious, Too Soon: The Professionalization of Youth Hockey - EP 343

This week Topher and Jeff continue their heated discussion from our latest FRIDAY FACEOFF episode on AAA Mite Hockey. We had so much to say on that episode, that we had to keep it going and transition into the topic of the professionalization of youth hockey.

In this episode we talk about:

— The pressure to perform and how it’s making kids fall out of love with the game

— Encouraging kids to diversify their skills by playing other sports

— Making it despite the system, not because of it

AND SO MUCH MORE!
