In the coming months you will hear a great deal of talk about the LTAD Model and how it pertains to hockey players and their development. You may actually wonder what does LTAD stand for - Long Term Athlete Development. Google the subject and you will have no shortage of bed time reading.

Many of us grew up in a era before there were sports academy's and spring hockey, we played tennis, golf, soccer or softball in the summer. With spring approaching it's time to think about what activities we will be enrolling our children in.

The link below will take you to an article written by Jason Gregor of the Team 1260 it's subject material that he took from an interview in his Hockey Coaching 101 series. It's simply one side of a debate but it might help your decide what your child should be doing in the coming months.
