The season's winding down and I know what a lot of parents are already thinking: spring hockey, development skates, summer camps. Before you start filling up the calendar, hear me out.

In this episode, I talk about what players should actually be doing when the season ends, and why the first move isn't more ice. I get into the injury side of things (what doctors are seeing in young hockey players right now is genuinely alarming), why guys like Celebrini, Bedard, and McDavid all spent their off-seasons on rollerblades and playing other sports, and where the real speed and power gains actually come from.

If you're a parent trying to figure out the right plan for this summer, or a player who wants to come back noticeably better next season, this one's for you.
