Thank you to those who have served, continue to serve, and made the ultimate sacrifice. #RemembranceDay #LestWeForget
Correct. Thanks Ken.
Very few will go to the NCAA until they are 19 or 20. There are the exceptions obviously. I feel the CHL is more than ever an 18-19 year old league. You still have to go to school in the CHL. Many players finishing their high school and then taking University/College courses.

If your son goes NCAA at 18 after high school is he ready? Go at 20 with a better understanding of what he wants from his education and life. The NCAA rule change is great IMO, but finish being a kid. Slow down.
I was lucky enough to coach CIS men's hockey for 4 years. Great hockey, great people/players. They get to play the game they love longer if you finish CHL then go to school. They finish at 24,25,26 not 19,20. Is that not better, same if they go to NCAA after CHL.
Yes thats true. But when compared with the CHL, if you do 4 yrs with no pro contract (say 95% of players) you still have a degree to enter workforce.
4 yrs in the CHL, most often players are then headed to Univ (take a look at CIAU Men's Hockey teams, full of ex CHL talent).

If the ball is still moving. That means it never came to a rest. If he asks his playing partner to confirm movement he should be OK

They are trying to get to that level to get the NIL money not an education. How many players that go to NCAA before junior is over will finish school before they move on to pro hockey? If the NHL comes calling they will leave.
There is no way CHL teams will compete with the NIL money or facilities in NCAA Div 1. I think the players are trying to get to that level as quick as possible for access to those advantages.
Waiting 3 yrs in CHL to try to be top 4 on a Div 1 team, may be waiting to long.

Coach Knight shares with Bob Costas 2 great philosophies that have helped define him
Most elite hockey players have never been told the truth from the time they are 13 so them and their parents have no idea what the truth is. Every on is in a rush. Slow down enjoy the journey. Its a marathon not a sprint.
In the representation world to many people just tell players and families what they want to hear. Stop working in fear and just tell it as it is.

Very true. IMO NCAA should be an older league were CHL players go that need time to grow physically, mature, improve skills and get a education while doing so. Not everyone playing CHL or Tier II Jr A is going to play hockey for a living. The rush out of CHL needs to slow down.
For any coach that wants to improve please read.

Most people are aimed 50 yards off target and they have no idea why
You line up to your toes but we play golf with open feet right foot about 20 degrees left foot about 45 so when you put a club across your toes it looks open but your heels are actually square
Most guys flare their feet then aim their toes which closes their whole alignment and on a 250 yard drive that tiny 11 degree offset sends you almost 50 yards right of the flag
Alignment has to be taken on your heels not your toes program your eyes so when it looks open you know its actually square
Get this right and everything else in the swing starts working
DM me the word alignment and Ill send you the full setup guide for free
IMO Yes It has.
Reasons
People have changed. Very few people care about anyone except themselves.
Our obsession pace of play.
No one teaches new golfers etiquette.
Has golf lost its sense of etiquette? 🤔
