Our Approach

We're not just hockey coaches, but we're also students of the game. Which also means, we're also students of coaching.

Below are resources we utilize to become better coaches.

Fun Integration Theory

"Children cite 'fun' as the primary reason for participation in organized sport and its absence as the number-one reason for youth sport attrition. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to develop a theoretical framework of fun using a novel mixed-method assessment of participants in sport (FUN MAPS) via concept mapping."

"The mission of the Changing the Game Project is to ensure that we return youth sports to our children, and put the ‘play’ back in ‘play ball.’ We want to provide the most influential adults in our children’s lives – their parents and coaches – with the information and resources they need to make sports a healthy, positive, and rewarding experience for their children, and their whole family."

Below are a few of our favorite podcasts from the Changing the Game Project.

"As a catalyst for a positive youth sports culture, provides research-based training and resources for coaches, parents, athletes, and leaders to ensure a positive youth development experience for ALL kids, in all communities across the U.S., through sports."

"Learning is a skill, one that anyone can get better at, and there's a lot of science that shows us how.

The Learner Lab is committed to digging into this science and comin gup with engaging ways to share it.

So that you and the people you work with can understand it, use it, and become better learners."
