It’s amazing how many obstacles potential college athletes keep getting hit with!
Rep. Tim Walberg and Sen. Jon Husted are introducing a bill that limits the amount of international athletes on a college sports roster to 20%.
The bill is called ‘‘Training and Education for American Members in University Sports and Athletics Act.”
Or… the TEAM USA Act.

This is incredible. You know you’re feeling it when you get a little grin before the pitch! #mlb #RedSox
This is genuinely one of the most amazing things I’ve ever watched in a baseball game. Not just throwing an immaculate inning, but also knowing it, smiling at it, and laughing after he did it.
Payton Tolle can’t be real, man.

You can cheat your kid in hockey. More ice than everyone else, more privates, hockey only, year-round, starting at seven. And it works -your kid is better at 10, 11, 12. Then 13 or 14 hits. Physical development kicks in, and the kids who can actually train hard start training hard. The ones who are fresh take huge leaps. The ones who've been grinding for six straight years find out they're running on empty. You didn't give your kid an advantage. You borrowed against their future.

I found this interesting: Elliotte Friedman mentions that it’s a “different world” with players forcing their way to different places. He even talks about younger players who aren’t breaking through requesting trades.
This is only going to happen more because it’s so common at younger levels.
Not playing enough in college? Transfer. Not playing enough in juniors? Try a new team or league. Not playing enough in prep or high school? Switch schools. Not playing enough for your 14U-18U club team? Find another.
Players now grow up feeling empowered to do what’s best for them. It’s not like that just ends when they get to the NHL.

Before the Steelheads take the ice against the Stingrays we chat with Nick Young to reflect on his first ECHL weekend.

100% True. 👇
“Doomscrolling. Players now have short attention spans. So before practice they’ve just been on their phones, now they come to you directly - now you’ve got a problem.” Full video from Behavioural Sports Specialist Larissa Mills: hubs.la/Q045fDV00

If you want to make it as a Hockey Player the only one that can get you to that next level is yourself. You have to be willing to put in the work on the ice, off the ice, watching games, analyzing video to take yourself to the next level and separate yourself from everyone else!
What an amazing guy he was. Always laughing and having a good time with the people around the rink and always had time for the players. RIP Stu. Thoughts and prayers are with Stu’s family and friends! #RITHawkey

If you attend a Junior Hockey camp, do you think you should be given feedback following the camp? 🏒
