Check these silky mitts!
This post by Hockey Canada shows off a young superstar named Rylynn, with a set of the silkiest mitts we’ve ever seen. Want to incorporate this routine at home? It’s simple, all you need is a golf ball and your stick. I suggest not doing it on Mom’s clean hardwood floors 😮
Grab a golf ball from Dad’s bag (I’m sure he won’t mind) and get going! Inexpensive and easy to find, golf balls are perfect for working on those quick hands. Not the ball you want to shoot or deke with but a golf ball is small and light allowing you to turn those hands over quicker than with any other stickhandling tool.
When you get really good, throw in a balance board and do it just like Rylynn.
If you can’t get a golf ball, these make perfect gifts for the kids.

Player Hydration
As we embark on this on ice adventure, it is also important to instil off ice skills in our children. Hockey is a very physically demanding sport as you will see as our kids come off the ice drenched in sweat.
As coaches, we will provide adequate water breaks but it is also important to note that Hydration needs to occur before jumping on the ice and and after. If kids come to the ice dehydrated they will struggle on the ice. Furthermore drinking too much water during physical activity can lead to stomach cramps, or bathroom breaks mid practice.
Hockey Canada has published this player checklist. Please go over it with your child and ensure they understand hydration, especially drinking water over sugary drinks which can actually dehydrate instead.
Fluid Checklist
– I drank 1-2 cups upon waking.
– I am not super thirsty throughout the day.
– I drank 1-2 cups before my practice or game.
– My urine is pale in colour before my practice or game.
– I drank enough during my practice or game.
– After my practice or game I drank at lease 1/2 to 1 litre of fluids.
– My urine is pale in colour an hour after practices or games.
See you on the ice!
