I recently posted an article entitled “Adapting to a Pandemic Lifestyle”. My real point in that piece was to help those in charge of young players from getting dragged onto and off of (and onto and off of) the numerous hockey guru bandwagons.

So, are you ready to follow along with me? Just press the play button below,…
