Good read 🏒😉
Former NHL star Ray Ferraro was asked to talk to parents of a hockey club that was going through a tough time, with parent expectations at an all-time high.
This is what Ferraro told the parents.
– Minor hockey is out of control in terms of Parents chasing the dream for their kids instead of kids deciding on their own how passionate they are for it and how bad they want it.
– In the last 10 years only 21 kids who either played at NSWC or BWC have appeared in at least ONE NHL regular season game. Point is if your banking on your son collecting an NHL pay cheque to solidify his and yours financial future you seriously need to stop and come up with a new plan and now.
– The odds of going pro are extremely low but the odds of having to find a career and a job to pay bills and be a husband and father are extremely high and it’s not dictated by if you played AAA hockey
– Parents need to enjoy the ride while you have it … your son’s minor hockey days end too quickly and often times people end up regretting what they did not know then and what they ending up missing because they were focused on everything but their kid having fun
– As a parent who devotes time and money to your son, the only right you have to ask is they give it their best … not how much ice time they get, if they play on the PP, who is their winger or D partner
– Don’t pay for power skating, dryland training, skill development and expect your son to score 50 goals, if you decide to invest in extras do it because your son asked for it and wants to improve and has a smile on his face each and every time … too many parents decide what they want their kids to do instead of their kids asking to do it.
– 12 month hockey is wrong … organized skills sessions, tryouts, spring hockey is too much and too taxing … kids can shoot pucks, stick handle, play street hockey but they need out of the mental insanity of a hockey rink and need to be engaged in something other than hockey … the time away reinforces the passion to want it
– Coaches are coaches we all know the game and think this should be done a certain way … how come we never tell our kids math teacher how to teach calculus but we think as parents we have the right to tell a hockey coach how much ice time and with whom and when our kids should play.
– When you evaluate your kids season, never base it on how many banners they won, what provincial they won, what tourneys they went to and won … ask yourself what improved from September to April, what did he learn or improve upon including non-hockey stuff … evaluate the season besides wins and losses but gains and improvements. Just let them play, learn and develop. Pressure is high enough, no need to make it worse.

Carl thank you for the great session last night. I told the boys how impressed you were with their work ethic and character. They told me how much they loved the session last night and look forward to the next one. Carl Michelle Robillard, coach U18 AAA Gloucester Rangers

My dad and I were actually talking about you recently when we were discussing coaches and such that had a big impact on my development, so I just wanted to say thanks for everything you did for me when I was younger!

Here is some feedback:
Our son participated in the Comp Edge summer camp (August 2015). He found it hard but enjoyed the challenge. He was playing Rep B last year and this year he made the A team. Doing the camp challenged him and made him work hard and the hard work paid off! Thank you Carl.
Best Regards,
Ania Huang

Hi Carl,
I'm Dehlia Mainville,
l attended your hockey school in August 2015.
I found it very challenging and it helped my hockey skills alot. I wanted to tell you that I made competitive tryouts and I am sure that your camp helped me get there.
You can be sure that I will attend your camp next year, because I tought it was an awesome camp.
Thank you,
-Del
Also, my dad said that it is the best camp that I have attended so far.
Dad ( Ray )says THANK YOU !! and have a
great Hockey season

Hi Carl,
Daniela really liked the session (7 Sept. 2015). She was apprehensive at the beginning (not knowing anyone, etc.) but she really enjoyed the drills and tempo! She was all smiles as we left and in the car!
Thanks, again! We will be seeing you next week!
Cheers,
Machelle

Carl,

My son - Seth has taken a number of camps in the Kingston / Ottawa region and we took the chance on yours based on a solid recommendation from a friend ( Dan Williams )
True to Dan's recommendation based on what we were looking for and your comments stated online and in direct correspondence with us - the camp is designed for players that are serious about improving their skills through a strict, demanding program (not a day care).
The discipline, focus and support/ coaching have been emphatically commented on by my son who feels prepared and motivated for upcoming tryouts and already looks forward to your summer hockey camp next year!
Thanks Carl.

Hi Carl
Just wanted to tell you yet again how much Gavin LOVED your camp. Hands down he told us it was the best camp he attended all summer. He told us your camp was the only one he wants to go to next year. He was heartbroken when we told him the camp usually only runs for two weeks. From the fun drills to great coaching staff, Gavin couldn't wait to get to camp day and can't wait for your weekly sessions which he can't wait to attend.
Also strangely enough since attending your camp he wakes up every morning makes his bed and folds his clothing to perfection. I don't know how you taught a 6 year old that much self discipline in one week but as a mom can't say thank you enough.
Thanks again so much looking forward to next year!
Gavin & Natalie
