Coach and Parent Tips of the Week (11/3/09)

Coach Tip of the Week - Substituting for a player who has just made an obvious error adds to the embarrassment the player already feels.  At that moment the player needs emotional support.  Substitute in ways that protect the pride and self-esteem of the player.  This will help the whole team play more assertively. 

Parent Tip of the Week - Children learn a lot and develop by just playing a game, even without coaching or direction.  Take your child to the park and have fun by playing without giving any tips or corrections.

CALIFORNIA HOCKEY DAY

A Partnership between the Local Association & Ice Arena

“Try Hockey For Free”

Saturday, November 7, 2009

OneGoal and USA Hockey are creating a market blitz for California Hockey Day on November 7, 2009 to give boys and girls ages 4-8 an opportunity to try the game of hockey for free. All hosting rinks would hold the free trial at a consistent time of 11:00 am – 12:00 pm local time.  The final goal is to get as many first-time players on the ice and later transition them to each host site’s full-time programs.
