Also, I currently have a bud whose son just started playing hockey this year at the age of 10. Starting at such an age has its disadvantages and it, according to his Dad, really bothers his son that he can't skate very good compared to the other kids on his team. Not that I am a great skater myself but I believe I can help him with some things that I have learned over the years running practices and drills. The fact remains, however, even if I can't teach him much, just being on the ice is what he needs the most. My bud is seperated and neither he nor his ex know how to skate very well, or at all, so with the issues of work, who has him, etc, etc, getting him on the ice for a public skate or stick and puck is rather difficult. I haven't ran it by his Mother yet but hopefully, when I get up with things, she will be receptive to it? He's a great kid and I think both of us will enjoy it so I am looking forward to it.

Get him one of Laura Stamm's instructional books on skating.
Those have helped everyone from Atoms to NHLers.

Thanks. This is a high school friend of mine's wife, Tracy Tutton. She has been all over the place training/teaching NHLr's skating techniques for more than a few years now. https://denver.cbslocal.com/2015/07/...skating-coach/ Chris, Tracy's husband, and my friend was also a great athlete. In High School, I played football with him in grades, 10, 11 and 12. Their children, not surprisingly, are super gifted/talented to say the least. Chad, is a Professional lacrosse player who has won many awards. Their daughter, Braeydan is a professional Volleyball player and to round it out, their other son is chasing an NHL career. https://www.uslaxmagazine.com/pro/nl...loves-lacrosse http://www.etsubucs.com/volleyball/r...raedyn-tutton/ https://www.eliteprospects.com/playe.../brodie-tutton Chris is currently a Fireman here in Oshawa, who, like me, is soon to be retired as well.

Maybe they can start televising the games from Central and South America...

I've had the chance to be assistant coach for my older son's soccer team this year and my younger son's t-ball team a couple years back. Both were fun and I'm grateful that I could do it (although I found that by the end of the season I was ready for a break, and in both instances there were a couple kids on each team that drove me a little batty). I also figured out pretty quickly when my oldest son was quite young that even just a different voice other than a parent sometimes has an easier way of getting through to kids. I wish I had gotten an earlier start on hockey - I didn't start skating until I was probably 12 or so. We had a neighborhood rink and there were many pickup games of hockey down there, so I had to learn fast. It was a ton of fun, and I'm a bit jealous these days of my friend who plays in a men's rec league, which I would get destroyed in. |

In finding that out, I realized that won't leave a lot of open time for Stick and Puck but hopefully, if he has an early enough game on a Sunday morning, that he'll want to get out again for a 1pm skate? Homework, of course, will come first but if he manages to get it completed and has the gumption still, then hopefully the odd Sunday here or there happens. I agree a 100% with the bold, Garth. Most kids/boys tune out their parents voice of reason/teaching so having someone different there training/instructing definitely goes a lot farther for sure! Thanks for the words of encouragement. Like I mentioned, we'll see how this winter goes then I'll decide next year. With any luck at all, I'd be real pleased if I could get on my friends son's team? Aside from looking for assistant coaches occasionally, trainers always seem to be in demand.
