Gaining Possession Hockey Podcast

About Gaining Possession Hockey Podcast

Youth hockey parents are the worst! This podcast gets into the details of youth hockey in North America and who's doing it right and who is driving the parents to go insane. We'll be discussing youth hockey topics like house vs travel vs AAA, half ice play, coaching, and the plethora of options after youth hockey and how to get there. Hockey is a very complicated game with an even more complicated path for kids. We aim to clear some of this up with facts and humor. We tell stories from real-life - we are youth hockey parents and will have some special guests that will drop some "been there done that" knowledge on us.

   Episode 3 :: Paid Coach vs Parent Coach (a rant)

   Quick episode (aka rant) about paid coaching vs parent or volunteer coaching in youth hockey. Bottom line, find a good coach. Don't be sucked in by the lies that paid coaches are necessarily better or that parent coaches always give special treatment to their kid. Yes it happens, but that's why you look for the best coach and focus on player development ability.
