Craig Geeky shares his philosophy on raising three talented hockey players, including NHL stars Morgan and Connor, through a multi-sport approach in a small town of just 150 people.

• Creating a pathway to hockey success by having kids play multiple sports (badminton, curling, basketball, volleyball, track, baseball)
• Building a strong foundation through accountability, self-assessment, and objective feedback
• Delaying specialization until age 16-17 when his sons naturally chose their preferred sport
• Developing perseverance, leadership, and teamwork by playing with varied skill levels in a small community
• Emphasizing character development and life skills over NHL aspirations
• Supporting his sons in missing hockey events for provincial tournaments in other sports
• Understanding that each player's development path is unique - "no path is going to be the same"
• Working with coaches who provide accountability while showing genuine belief in player potential
• Participating in the UMH 68 Invitational to create opportunities for young players in Manitoba
• Valuing the educational and developmental aspects of hockey beyond just competition

Parents and players interested in the UMH 68 Invitational in Manitoba starting May 29th should visit upmyhockey.com and fill out the watch list form for consideration or see link blow.
