Had our email yesterday. I really question the value of this development season. It will be a struggle to keep some of the younger groups engaged for an hour while only doing passing and skating drills. No close contact, no scrimmages, no battle drills.
Yes it is nice to get them onto the ice but they are also asking for the existing coaches to fill the roles. I would rather take the money and pay someone to give my kid power skating lessons rather than have to come up with 10 practice plans for an hour of skating/passing drills trying to keep 8 and 10 year olds entertained.
