Review of Rules and Equipment Care

I know some of you are considering becoming hockey officials. Here is some solid, straight forward rules training.

"You go to the box, you know, two minutes by yourself and...you feel shame, you know, and then you get free."

Love it.

Also, just a reminder for you guys to check snaps, buckles and mouthguards...and air out your equipment!

Skating Technique

In order to skate your fastest you'll need to have good technique. I hope you'll watch this 8 minute video and listen to the instructions even though its not a hockey player. I think its really good instruction from a 2 time Olympic Gold Medalist speed skater (Derek Parra). If you get your technique right, you're skating will be faster, more powerful and you will last a lot longer during a game than someone with poor technique. We can discuss some of this at practice.
