In this episode, Coach Andy and Coach Eric address whether or not a kid ‘has a chance’ to make the big leagues or get something higher level out of hockey. Following the World Juniors, they start with a discussion on the youth hockey system in Canada and how to progress development moving into the future by learning from other countries. They then move on to outline what factors are important to have a successful hockey player, examples of unlikely players that ‘made it’, the role of good timing, and where parents and coaches may have some control.

Swedish youth hockey doesn't have any special system just because we have clubs. Kids are mostly trained by parents up to 14 year old's and it's very expensive so poor households can't afford it and we have no scholarships. By 15 it's already clear who is not good enough and they have no where to play since the amount of teams shrinks. Most good players has a father who played at high level. Without such a father it's really hard to become successful! It's not only the private lessons, but also the established networks those families have in clubs. There is a lot of favoritism from the beginning and most kids never catch up with the best simply because they never handle the puck often, because a few players monopolize games. One future development I would like to see is not to create teams by age but by skill more. Kids who are late bloomers would then have a better chance to become good. Now if you are born July or later you basically have not much chance to become a hockey player. In Sweden's J16 national team this year not a single player is born after June 30th. And most clubs has almost no own products on their rooster if they are playing in the top 3 tiers.

wow, that is crazy that the birthdate plays such a huge factor in making the team. I understand on some level because those other kids had a few more months of development but I'm surprised it makes that big of a difference. Here in MN we are also separated by age but it is not just your birth year. they pick a date, June 1st, and if you are born before that you will play with your birth year and the younger kids from the year before. It is really designed to keep the kids together with their classmates. My son is an August birthday and technically should be playing with the younger kids but since he started school at age 5 he can play up with his class or we can opt to hold him back with his age group. So far he is holding his own with the older kids and even excelling a little, he's very competitive. www.minnesotahockey.org/page/show/85059-age-charts-and-participation-levels

@@cglasford1 IF you are your self an hockey player and you want your kid to become one, and the due date for delivery is in late December, it's better to eat a couple of pills to delay birth and pop out the kid in January instead. January kids has an advantage in all sports.

So I have a 9yr old and for 3 years (including this year) he has asked about spring hockey. I haven't let him because I believe in having that break and playing other sports. He still wants to play baseball, soccer etc but keeps asking about spring hockey. A little context about him he is definitely either the hardest worker or in the group of the hardest workers on the ice every game. He knows a local aaa hockey team (really good overall club) has a Spring league and has asked about that. Is there a time to capitulate and let him try or should I keep him off the ice in Spring? He does know I'd rather have him not but he keeps asking.

@cglasford1 4 месяца назад

my question would be, where do you live and what level of commitment is spring hockey in your area? My son also wanted to do it and I know that Coach Andy and Erik suggest against it I am letting him do it because here in MN, at least at his age there is only 1-2 one our practices a week. This will start the last week of march and go through the first weekend of May. They play 1 tournament that weekend in May. Then take a break through July and the team will start practicing again in August- September with 1 tournament in the fall and 3v3 scrimmages. The regular season will then start back in October. He will also play Soccer. I personally have no issue with it because he is still asking to do it, so it has not become a chore. There is minimal travel, minimal time commitment and the cost is low. Now if I lived somewhere that this was an expensive endeavor, required a lot of time commitment and involved a lot of traveling or I was the one telling him he is going to be doing this, I would probably also say no as well. So from me to you, if you can afford it and it isn't a big inconvenience and he wants to do it, I'd say why not give it a try.
