In this special mailbag episode of Our Kids Play Hockey, Lee and Mike dive into some powerful listener-submitted questions that hit at the heart of today’s youth hockey experience—from the overwhelming costs of AAA, to what really matters when choosing a team, to how concussions can change the way young players approach the game.

Whether you’re a hockey parent struggling with financial decisions, a coach wondering how to build true team culture, or just trying to figure out how to support your child’s passion for the game, this episode is packed with insight, honest advice, and real stories from decades in the rink.

We also talk about:

• What to do when your child’s motivation changes
• Why there’s no “one path” in hockey development
• The real role of team building (spoiler: it’s not just pizza parties)
• And why sometimes the best thing to do… is step back
