August Hockey

It's August.  The weather is starting to cool off, and the kids are getting a little stir crazy. 3 on 3 has wound down, we've visited every cottage we can get invited to, done some summer camp, and now it starts. Some teams are beginning their dryland training.
 Dryland training is a great concept.  Fitness and agility are enhanced by off ice exercise.  No arguments there.  Some team bonding can be achieved.  But that's about it for me.  After years of dropping my kids off for weekly dryland, or a week or two of summer team camp, I know that real fitness is achieved by participating in a variety of sports and exercises year round.  10 days or so of exercise for a team can give them a little pre-season boost, but for some kids it's lip service only.  Some kids love the dryland, as a great chance to hang out with friends, learn some new exercises and access new equipment.  But these same kids love being fit, and have created their own workout routines, just because they want to.  Others use the dryland as a chance to show how hard they work out, but once it's done, that's it.
So if you are a coach, hoping to motivate the less active kids, you may have some luck, but really it's a great chance for parents to drop off their kids and go back to school shopping.  Enjoy the shopping. and try to keep from posting about your fellow hockey parents on Network54.

Arena Pro Review

One of our viewers popped in to check for a review of Arena Pro Hockey.  I did watch a few youth Arena Pro games this summer at the Midget Level. It was nice to watch 5 on 5 hockey instead of the usual summer 3 on 3.  The defenseman that I was watching had a chance to skate, hang out with his friends and still be a defenseman.  He just really just does not enjoy the 3 on 3 format, so it was a good choice for him. The league was fairly balanced, and the reffing and organization were just fine.  The parents enjoyed watching from the South Fletcher's Arena  restaurant (Brampton) where the draft beer was particularly frosty.

What else could you ask for?  Here's my previous Arena Pro post.  http://hockeyzine.blogspot.ca/2012/03/arena-pro.html

Youth leagues are only offered in the summer. In the winter a men's recreational league is offered.  Here is the link: http://x.arenapro.com/programs.php
