Hi everyone,
Throughout the year I'll be posting articles, videos and any other useful information I might come across to help in furthering your child's development.
Nutrition
One of the big topics I'll be stressing this season will be nutritional choices. Nutrition is one of those controllable factors that can have a massive impact on any athlete's development and translates directly into success in everyday life.
I found this article written by Gary Roberts that does a great job of explaining the benefits of healthy choices:

Dryland Games
If you're athlete has some spare time and you're looking for some hockey specific games to play in the basement or the driveway I found this site by Hockey USA that has everything nicely laid out and categorized. (I figure that Auston Matthews kid is doing all right so Hockey USA can't be all bad!!!)
