It is so important to learn how to play the game the right way. Youth players will avoid all the bad things they can pick up from those who really do not know how to teach the game properly.

Older players should train the proper way and forget about the bad habits they thought were good for them.

No matter the age, proper training allows players to know they are playing the way it was meant to be played and forms them for their hockey career.

Training the correct way also adds a confidence level for players, knowing they are 'doing it the right way' allows them to feel assured they are training the same way as the players they idolize.

Think about it, someone new to the game of hockey gets on the ice for the first time and some may think they will be the next Sidney Crosby. They may will be someday but if they just go out and play like Sid, they will be in for a big surprise.

Training teaches them the game the right way and looking to get better every day should be the goal for every player in this great game.

In closing, the only way to learn how to play the game correctly is to enroll in training and workout sessions designed for the hockey player. Let the experts do their job so you can do your job and get better at the game you enjoy to play.
