The birds are chirping, the season’s winding down—and that means it’s the perfect time to start thinking about how to build a better hockey player this off-season.
In this episode of Ride to the Rink, Lee and Mike dive into how players (and parents) can start planning a development calendar that fits real life and drives real growth. From simple 20-minute habits like daily push-ups or shooting pucks, to blocking out time in a shared Google Calendar, it’s all about building consistency, not cramming in ice time.
You’ll also hear:
✅ Why structured planning beats “winging it” every time
✅ How daily effort—even 15 minutes—adds up in a big way
✅ Tips for integrating hockey into your lifestyle without burning out
✅ Why the off-ice work matters just as much (if not more) than spring tournaments
Whether your player wants to hit the next level or just stay sharp during the off-season, this short ride is packed with advice for setting goals, building habits, and staying balanced.
📌 Because greatness—on the ice or off—starts with what you do every day.
