Spring is here! As the temperatures rise and the ice starts to melt, you might be wondering: Should I keep playing hockey in the spring, or is it okay to take a break?
In this episode, Lee MJ Elias, Mike Bonelli, and Sherry Hudspeth tackle one of the biggest questions young hockey players face: Do I need to play year-round to get better? Spoiler alert: You don’t.
✅ Why taking a break from hockey can actually make you a better player
✅ The benefits of playing other sports (or even picking up an instrument!)
✅ How to avoid the pressure of year-round hockey and focus on overall development
✅ Why your parents (and their wallets) need a break too!
Whether you’re lacing up for lacrosse, swinging a baseball bat, hitting the golf course, or just enjoying some downtime, remember—be an athlete, stay active, and most importantly, have fun.
