The content we write for our How to Play Hockey blog is a labour of love for me. We try to share our expertise through value based, engaging short articles. As I work to hone my writing skills, I often refer to our Google Analytics to see what’s working and what’s not. Our audience can help dictate our topics, and writing style. Today I present to you, our readers, the top 6 viewed posts written specifically for youth hockey coaches. Below this Top 6 list is a list of our resources that we have created for youth hockey coaches, that have been adopted all around the world from Canada, Europe, Japan, and as far away as Mongolia. I hope you find these articles and resources useful as you dive into your hockey season planning practices, drills, and player meetings. (I started with a Top 5, but #6 had so much traction on LinkedIn Coaching groups the week we wrote it, I had to put it in!)
