Want to become a better hockey player? Its not just about what you do during practice its about the habits you build everywhere else, too.On this episode of The Ride to The Rink, Lee, Mike, and Christie are joined by Coach Andrew, a high-level junior hockey coach and former NCAA player, to talk directly to young skaters and goalies about what really helps players improve.Andrew breaks down the balance between skill development and team systems, why younger players should spend most of their ice time building skills, and how players can start developing their hockey brains off the ice through video, chalk talks, and learning team concepts.But the biggest message? Great players dont only grow during one hour of practice. They grow through their preparation, attitude, rest, schoolwork, backyard shooting, stickhandling, conditioning, and willingness to do a little more than everyone else.In this episode, we cover: Why 8U, 10U, and 12U players should focus heavily on skill development How team concepts can be learned off the ice without wasting valuable practice time Why strength, conditioning, and mobility become major separators as players get older How young players can become better teammates through better habits Why drive and desire have to come from the player not parents, coaches, or teammatesThis is a great listen for young hockey players who want to improve, parents who want to support the right habits, and coaches who want to help kids develop the full picture of what it means to grow in the game.

You ever hear of Hockey IQ?Well, todays guest is someone whos quietly building one of the most impactful development platforms in hockey right now.Danny Heath is the founder of Project Hockey a training system thats changing how players actually improve.Not just on the ice, but in how they think the game.Because the reality is, most players dont fail from lack of effort they fail from lack of access.Access to the right coaching, the right reps, and the right way to understand hockey at a deeper level. And Dannys mission has been to close that gap.From growing up in a non-traditional hockey market, to playing at the USHL and Division I level, to now coaching and developing players across the world hes taken everything he learned and built something thats not just effective, but scalable.Project Hockey isnt just another training app.Its a shift in mindset. Its about hockey IQ, decision-making, consistency, and giving players a real path to get better even if they dont have elite resources.And what I know Ill love about this conversation is that Danny doesnt just talk about development he challenges a lot of the assumptions we all have about what actually makes players improve.So if youre a player, parent, or coach trying to figure out what really moves the needle this is one youre going to want to pay attention to.Thanks for stopping in and enjoy the episode.To Learn More About Danny Heath and the Project Hockey AppWebsite:https://www.projecthockey.com/Social:@projecthockey and @danny_hypeCoach Lance PitlickTo Learn More, Visit Online Hockey TrainingLargest Online Database of Off-Ice Stickhandling, Passing, and Shooting Drillshttps://www.onlinehockeytraining.com/In-person lessons with Coach Lancehttps://www.sweethockeycoach.com/Check Out the Heads Up Hockey Apphttps://headsuphockey.ai/\n

What if you could begin preparing for your best game before you even stepped onto the ice?In this episode of The Ride to the Rink, Lee is joined by goaltending and mindset expert Pete to introduce young athletes to mind mappinga simple but powerful exercise that can help players visualize success, strengthen their confidence, and prepare mentally for tryouts, big games, and pressure-filled moments.Pete shares how he used this exercise with a goaltender preparing for a championship game. By writing down what he wanted to see, hear, and feel, the goalie created a clear mental picture of the performance he wanted to deliver. Lee and Pete then walk listeners through how they can build a mind map of their own. In this episode, young athletes will learn:How to create a mind map before a game, tryout, or important eventWhy players should include what they want to see, hear, and feelHow visualization can help make a big moment feel more familiarWhat to do when a negative thought interrupts their confidenceWhy recognizing a negative thought is already an important victoryHow to replace I can with the stronger statement I amWhy mental skills deserve practice just like skating, shooting, and savesPete also offers a memorable way to understand negative thinking: your mind is like a garden. When you intentionally plant confident and constructive thoughts, you give those thoughts room to grow. When a negative thought appears, acknowledge it, swat it away, and return your attention to the picture you want to create.This exercise is not only for hockey. Young athletes can use mind mapping before a school presentation, recital, test, performance, or any situation in which they want to feel prepared and confident.

What really makes a hockey player better more ice, a higher-level team, a longer commute, or the right culture?This week on Our Kids Play Hockey, Lee Elias, Mike Bonelli, and Christie Casciano-Burns sit down with Andrew Trimble, GM and co-owner of the New England Wolves Hockey Club, founder of Scoring Concepts, and author of Beyond the Scoreboard. Andrew has coached from learn-to-skate all the way to the collegiate level, giving him a rare perspective on what true development looks like at every stage of the game.In this conversation, Andrew breaks down why hockey IQ is really about finding space, how small area games and street hockey can teach decision-making better than repetitive drills, and why parents should think carefully before assuming the best hockey opportunity is always the one with the longest drive or flashiest logo.The crew also dives into junior hockey, billet families, player character, development-focused programs, parent communication, and the reminder that the goal is not just to build better hockey players it is to help shape better people.In this episode, we discuss: Why hockey IQ starts with finding space, not just skill execution How watching full games not just highlight clips helps players understand how plays develop Why small area games and street hockey are powerful development tools How parents can balance opportunity, pressure, fun, and family life What junior hockey coaches look for beyond talent Why billet families and community culture matter in player development Why development should include academics, character, confidence, and life decisionsAndrews message is simple but powerful: every players path is different, and the best hockey environments are the ones that help kids grow as athletes, teammates, and people.
