Today is a great day to celebrate your coaches! It`s National Coaches Day!
I love this game and have had the thrill of coaching throughout my life. I started coaching when I was still in school. I still coach today, in adult league. The lessons of hockey apply to life. I feel it, with more strength, respect, and love for both game and the players I have been privileged to coach.
I didn’t start coaching to be remembered. I started coaching to teach the game I love and to instill the benefits of working as a team as it applies throughout life.
🏒 Being a coach has helped me with the way we organize our tournaments. I know what it feels like to win and to lose, to be outmatched or be in the most competitive bracket. It’s about so much more than what’s on the scoreboard.
🙌 The kids will remember the coach who took the time to make them better players and people.
👇 Let us know in the comments how a coach positively impacted your life or if you’re a coach, share your favorite thing about coaching.
One of our biggest tournament highlights… 🔥⛽️🏒 The Showdown Skills Event. Made up of 6 events, outside of your tournament games, this is where great memories are made.
5 events are going on simultaneously over the entire ice surface… The Showdown Biscuit Basket Speed Challenge Corner Shot Speed Shot
Then, there is the Showdown Relay event Showdown Relay - Each team skates 9 players, 1 goalie and 1 COACH. Everyone skates through the relay course. Wow, do the players and parents get excited! We love this highlight.
