Q: At what age should the responsibility begin shifting from the parent to the player?
A: The 14U/16U level is often where a hockey player is either made or unmade. Why? Because this is the age when a player will start to focus on hockey and decide for themselves whether to become a hockey player or just play hockey.

Players can use several strategies to practice these mental skills that enhance their overall on-ice performance. |
