Episode description
In this episode, Coach Eric references a USA Hockey article and corresponding X thread to discuss the skew towards early specialization in hockey. He and Coach Andy use this to explore why the long term athletic development model is key for youth and long-term hockey success. Similarly, they discuss specializing in a certain position as a hockey player and how the game is trending towards ‘positionless’ play.
