Floorball: The Fastest Growing Team Sport

By | October 14, 2020

I have my long ago friends at the Sports Connection to thank for this extremely informative article.  (I say long ago, because it seems they’ve disappeared since I borrowed this awesome article from them.)  I love that they’ve provided a brief history for floorball, and that they go even more into the rules than other articles I’ve…

Hockey Gains Come When You Least Expect Them

By | October 10, 2020

I have a nice young lady to thank for this entry.  For, you see, my video on “Incredible Stickhandling” made it just about around the world — even to a  lady hockey player over in the United Kingdom.

Drills to Build Puckhandling Skills

By | October 9, 2020

Interestingly, this question arrived in my inbox at a time when I really wanted to share a few special thoughts with my members in reference to puckhandling… Q:  Susan, the mom of an 8-year old, says that her son is just starting out in a local house league program.  And, while he seems to take to…
