GREAT MOMENTS FROM THE PREVIOUS WEEK OF TRAINING.....
1. Sara commented on how she was trying to do everything as prescribed during one of her workouts but it was slowing her down. We are striving for perfection and we hold people accountable for the quality of their performance. Great job by Sara to hold herself to high training standards!
2. Sometimes we call 'TIME' on the WODs and other times we give the option to stop. After getting the option of stopping the workout because of time, Nick continued the workout and finally finished. It took him 44:30 minutes to muscle through the WOD. Great dedication and perseverance!
3. Dan was the first one to post time on the whiteboard in one of the workouts. The workout consisted of cleans, push press, push jerks and K2E. Dan is very strong and efficient on these movements. Awesome time on the workout!
4. We have a few elite level hockey players amongst us in the workouts. Their commitment is astounding. There aren't too many kids their age as committed, strong or conditioned. Their hard work will pay off. Keep up the good work Andy, Brendan and Greg.
5. Anybody that has the drive to walk in the door on a consistent basis and train deserves credit. Nothing of value comes easy. Great job by ALL of the members who are continuing to reach for higher fitness levels.
6. The 31 youth hockey players that skated hard on the ice then continued the training off ice at STICKS Training Center. These kids did an amazing job listening, paying attention and trying their hardest.
If we missed anything go ahead and comment.

10 Reasons Why Your Child Should Be Playing Hockey
10 Reasons Why Your Kid Should Play Hockey…
1. Team Play: Playing hockey is a great way for your kid to learn about teamwork. Being on a team with other players gives your kid a chance to learn about how a team can come together and work towards a common goal. Passing, communicating and encouraging each others are skills that should be taught while playing on a team
2. Dealing with Adversity: Everything in life doesn’t always go your way nor will it happen for your little hockey player. Losing games, getting penalties, not scoring or getting scored against are things that occur in hockey games. Not making a travel team is another chance to help your kid learn a lesson. These occurrences gives coaches/parents a chance to let the player know that the important thing is how they respond or react to these situations.
3. Respect for Others: Some games are won or lost by wide margins. Children can be taught to win or lose with dignity. Children are taught to shake hands and tell the other players “Good Game” regardless of the outcome.
4. Fitness: Childhood obesity is on the rise. With computers, video games, cell phones and other technological advances children are less active than they use to be. Physical exercise has many advantages and should be stressed at young ages. One hour of skating is plenty of exercise for a day and will most likely leave your child soaked in sweat.
5. Work ethic: Hockey players learn how to develop a solid work ethic. Ice time is 50 or 80 minutes long and coaches don’t like to waste valuable ice time. Players are taught to skate hard to the coach when a whistle is blown and quickly get set for the next drill in practices. In games coaches constantly use the quote “the hardest working team wins”.
6. Tournaments: Every year most teams play in tournaments. These tournaments allow the players a great chance to spend time together and get know each other. There is much time spent together at the rinks, restaurants or hotels. At young ages players are constantly upsetting hotel employees by playing ‘mini-sticks’ in the hall ways.
7. Not looking for trouble: Hockey takes up 2 to 4 days per week. Think of all the negative things your child can’t get into while at the rink.
8. Friendships: The teams that play well and have success have chemistry. The players on the team enjoy each other and become good friends. Players on the same team develop strong friendships with each other that last a long time.
9. Competitiveness: Competition builds strength and character even in young children. Wins and losses are valuable tools of motivation even at small levels. Watch 5 or 6 year old hockey players race for the puck and you will see the value of competitiveness.
10. Windshield Time: The term was coined by a hockey parent to describe the hours of travel time to and from hockey rinks with his child. While sitting in your car, it is a great time to talk with your child about whatever is going on in his/her life.
