    Hockey IQ Talk with Albe: How Players Learn to Identify Cues

    🧠🏒 Scanning the ice is important—but seeing what’s around you is only the beginning. The real hockey IQ comes from understanding what those cues are telling you. On this edition of Our Kids Play Hockey IQ Talk with Albe, Lee Elias is joined by former NHL defenseman and NHL Sense Arena team member Andrew “Albe” Alberts to break down one of the biggest separators in player development: identifying cues. A defender hesitates. A teammate changes direction. A passing lane opens. Pressure arrives from one side. A stick blade turns. Those little details can completely change what the right play is—and great players learn how to recognize and process them in fractions of a second. Albe explains what players should be looking for before they receive the puck, once they have it, and even when they’re playing without it. 🏒 In this episode, you’ll learn: What “identifying cues” actually means in hockeyWhy time, space, pressure, and support are foundational readsHow shoulder checks and pre-scanning help players prepare before the puck arrivesWhy stick position, body position, speed, and direction all provide useful informationHow younger players can begin developing hockey awarenessWhy mistakes are essential to building hockey IQWhy coaches should create drills that force players to make decisionsWhy constantly yelling “pass,” “shoot,” or “move it” can actually limit developmentHow players without the puck still have important reads and responsibilitiesHow NHL Sense Arena’s multi-object tracking drill can help train anticipation and recognitionOne of Albe’s most important reminders for coaches: Every time you give a player the answer, you take away a decision they could have learned to make themselves. That means development requires patience. Players need opportunities to look, read, choose, fail, adjust, and try again. 🎧 Listen now for an inside look at how NHL players process the game—and how young athletes can begin building those same habits one decision at a time. #OurKidsPlayHockey #HockeyIQ #YouthHockey #HockeyDevelopment #HockeyCoaching #AndrewAlberts #HockeyAwareness #HockeySkills #DecisionMaking #YouthAthletes #NHLSenseArena #HockeyTraining Click To Text The Our Kids Play Hockey Team!

    The Ride to The Rink: Want to Try That Move in a Game? Practice It First.

    🏒 See an amazing move in an NHL or PWHL game and immediately want to try it in your next game? Go for it—but not before you’ve put in the reps. On this episode of The Ride to The Rink, Lee Elias and Mike Bonelli talk directly to young hockey players about creativity, confidence, repetition, and knowing when it’s the right time to take a risk. Trying new things is an important part of becoming a better player. But there’s a big difference between taking a calculated hockey risk and attempting a move in a game that you’ve never practiced before. The goal isn’t to take creativity away. It’s to prepare your creativity so well that the move becomes automatic when the opportunity appears. 🏒 In this episode, players will learn: Why games aren’t always the best place to try a brand-new moveHow repetition builds muscle memory and confidenceWhy practice is where mistakes, experimentation, and creativity belongThe difference between a calculated hockey risk and an unnecessary gambleHow skills can be practiced at home, in the driveway, off the ice, or in VRWhy great players still work relentlessly on skills they’ve already masteredHow one skill becomes the foundation for the nextWhy coaches should give players room to experiment during practiceHow just 15 extra minutes of focused practice can add up over timeWhy the highlight-reel move you see today may have taken thousands of attempts to masterLee and Mike also remind players that the stars making incredible plays at the highest levels didn’t simply decide to try those moves in a game. They practiced. They failed. They repeated. And eventually, the skill became part of their toolbox. 💪 Your challenge: Pick one hockey skill you want to improve and spend 15 focused minutes working on it consistently. Don’t worry about making it perfect immediately. Get the reps in. Because when the right moment comes in a game, the best skills don’t feel forced. They just happen. 🎧 Listen now, get your reps in, and keep adding tools to your game. 📖 Want a written version you can reference anytime?

    Beyond Raffle Tickets: Rethinking Youth Hockey Fundraising with Ryan Beckmann and Justin Shaw of Hero Picks

    🏒 Raffle tickets. Chocolate bars. Coupon books. Car washes. Poinsettias. If you’ve spent enough time around youth hockey, chances are you’ve been asked to sell at least one of them. But does fundraising still have to work that way? On this episode of Our Kids Play Hockey, Lee Elias, Mike Bonelli, and Christie Casciano Burns sit down with Ryan and Justin from Hero Picks to explore how technology could reshape fundraising for hockey teams, charities, and communities. Hero Picks was created around a simple question: What if fundraising felt less like asking people for money—and more like inviting them to be part of something? Ryan and Justin explain how their platform combines fundraising with prediction games, friendly competition, leaderboards, prizes, unique experiences, and social engagement. Instead of simply sending another donation link to the same friends and relatives, teams can potentially create an experience that gives supporters a reason to follow along, participate, and stay connected. 🏒 In this episode, you’ll hear about: Why traditional youth sports fundraising can create donor fatigue💡 How Hero Picks is trying to make fundraising more interactiveWhy community and connection may be just as important as the money raisedHow individual players and families can participate through personalized fundraising linksHow leaderboards, prizes, and unique experiences can motivate participationThe difference between sports betting and Hero Picks’ prediction-based fundraising modelHow supporters can potentially engage with a team even when they live across the countryWhy transparency matters when teams are collecting and distributing moneyHow technology and AI can reduce administrative work while keeping a human elementWays teams can raise money not only for themselves, but for charities and access-to-hockey initiativesWhy Ryan and Justin believe fundraising could become far more experiential in the years aheadThe conversation also goes beyond hockey. Ryan and Justin share how the same model is being explored with veterans, first responders, nonprofits, combat sports, and other charitable efforts—and why they believe experiences people can’t simply buy may become an increasingly powerful fundraising tool. And yes, the group also asks the most important question of all: Can we finally retire the poinsettia fundraiser? 🌺 🎧 Listen now for a conversation about innovation, community, youth sports costs, and what fundraising could look like when the experience becomes part of the reason people participate. 📖 Want a written version you can reference anytime?

    The Ride to The Rink: What Goalies Wish Their Teammates Understood

    🥅 Your goalie isn’t playing alone—and keeping the puck out of the net is everyone’s responsibility. In this episode of The Ride to the Rink, Lee Elias and Mike Bonelli speak directly to young hockey players about something every great teammate needs to understand: your goaltender is one of six players on the ice, not a separate part of the team. After hearing hundreds of comments from hockey parents about what they wish others understood about goalies, Lee and Mike bring those lessons straight to the players. For goalies, there’s an important reminder: you’re seen, supported, and appreciated. The pressure of playing in net can sometimes make you feel like you’re on an island, but there are teammates, parents, coaches, and hockey families who understand just how demanding the position can be. And for the skaters? There’s a responsibility that comes with being a great teammate. 🏒 In this episode, players will learn: Why goals against are a shared team responsibilityHow skaters can help limit shots, clear rebounds, and avoid screening their own goalieWhy communication with your goaltender mattersHow to safely take shots around a goalie during warm-upsWhy you should never shoot when your goalie’s back is turnedWhy pregame warm-ups aren’t the time for breakaway moves and highlight-reel dekesHow shooting accurately to the glove, blocker, and pads actually helps your goalie prepareWhy supporting your goalie can make the entire team stronger🔥 The big message? Warm your goalie up—don’t try to beat them. A three-minute youth hockey warm-up isn’t a skills competition. It’s a chance for everyone to get comfortable, feel the puck, get their body moving, and prepare together. Whether you wear goalie pads or skate in front of the crease, remember: it takes all six players working together to defend the net. Work hard. Have fun. Be a great teammate. And wherever you are in your hockey journey—believe in yourself. 📖 Want a written version you can reference anytime?

    Our Kids Play Goalie: Mailbag: What 200+ Goalie Parents Want Skater Families to Know

    🥅 What do goalie parents wish every skater parent understood? Apparently… a lot. When we asked that question on social media, we expected a handful of responses. Instead, more than 210 goalie parents jumped into the conversation—and their answers opened the door to a discussion every hockey family should hear. In this episode of Our Kids Play Goalie, Lee Elias and Mike Bonelli dig into those responses and unpack the things skaters, parents, and coaches may never fully appreciate unless they’ve experienced life between the pipes. From the right way to warm up a goalie to the emotional pressure that comes with having every mistake potentially show up on the scoreboard, this conversation is about creating more awareness, better teammates, and healthier hockey environments. 🏒 In this episode, Lee and Mike discuss: 🥅 Why a goal against is rarely the responsibility of one player🔥 Why warmups should prepare your goalie—not become a breakaway competition🚨 The safety rule every young player needs to learn: if the goalie isn’t looking, don’t shoot👀 Why skaters need to listen when a goalie says, “I can’t see!”❤️ Why some goalie parents are quiet during games—and why it probably isn’t personal🧠 The enormous mental challenge of giving up a goal and immediately preparing for the next shot🤝 Why rebound control is a shared responsibility between goalies and their teammates📊 Why save percentage and goals-against average rarely tell the whole story🗣️ How communication between goalies, defensemen, forwards, and coaches builds stronger teams🏒 Why coaches must deliberately include goalies when designing practices💪 How confidence from teammates can help a young goalie develop confidence in themselvesOne of the biggest reminders from this conversation? A skater can make a mistake and the game keeps moving. When a goalie makes one, the horn may sound and the scoreboard changes. That doesn’t mean goalies should be protected from accountability. It means hockey families need to understand the position, recognize the shared responsibility of a team, and help young goalies learn from mistakes instead of making them feel defined by them. And for the skaters listening: your goalie wants to be part of the team. Talk to them. Protect them. Listen to them. Clear rebounds. Give them a proper warmup. And remember that when the puck goes in, they probably don’t need anyone reminding them. 📖 Want a written version you can reference anytime? Check out our companion blog: What Goalie Parents Wish Every Hockey Family Understood 🎧 Listen now and share this episode with a skater parent, coach, or teammate who wants to better understand the person behind the mask.

    Hockey IQ Talk with Andrew "Albe" Alberts: Shoulder Checking

    🏒 What does your player know before they ever touch the puck? That question is at the heart of hockey IQ — and in this special edition of Our Kids Play Hockey, Lee Elias and Mike Bonelli are joined by former NHL defenseman Andrew “Albe” Alberts, who played more than 450 NHL games and now works with the NHL Sense Arena team, to break down one of the simplest and most important habits in the game: shoulder checking. It may sound basic, but knowing what’s behind you before you get to the puck can completely change what happens next. A good shoulder check helps players recognize pressure, identify open ice, protect themselves, create more time and space, and make a better first play. And as Albe explains, this isn’t just a skill for defensemen — or even just for older players. It’s a fundamental habit that can help players at every position and every age become faster thinkers and more confident decision-makers. 🔥 In this episode, you’ll learn: 👀 Why shoulder checking is one of the foundations of hockey IQ🧠 How scanning the ice helps players create more time and space🏒 The three key steps young players can use when retrieving a puck⚡ Why knowing your next option before touching the puck speeds up your game🛡️ How shoulder checks can help players protect themselves from pressure🎯 Why repeatedly throwing the puck away often starts with a lack of information📈 How coaches can progressively teach puck retrieval and awareness🔁 Why repetition is essential for building good habits — and breaking bad ones🥅 How NHL Sense Arena creates game-like reps for scanning, reading pressure, and making decisionsOne of Albe’s biggest messages for young players is also one of the easiest to remember: Shoulder check more than you think you need to. The habit of looking before you arrive at the puck gives you information — and information gives you options. This episode launches a monthly hockey IQ series powered by NHL Sense Arena, designed to give hockey families one practical concept at a time that players can understand, practice, and take directly into their game. 🎧 Listen together with your player, talk about what they see on the ice, and challenge them to start building the habit of looking before the puck arrives.

    Why Healthy Conflict Makes Teams Stronger With Sports Conflict Lab Founder/CEO Bill Taylor

    🔥 What if conflict isn’t the problem in youth hockey… but avoiding it is? Whether it’s a disagreement over playing time, tension between teammates, a frustrated parent, or an uncomfortable conversation with a coach, conflict is inevitable in sports. But according to Bill Taylor, founder of Sports Conflict Lab and author of Managing Sports Conflict: Five Tools to Master Conflict, learning how to handle those moments can actually make teams, relationships, and young athletes stronger. In this episode of Our Kids Play Hockey, Lee Elias, Mike Bonelli, and Christie Casciano-Burns sit down with Bill to explore why healthy conflict is essential for growth—and why teams that never challenge one another may actually be limiting their potential. 🏒 In this episode, you’ll hear: • Why avoiding conflict usually makes the eventual problem bigger • How healthy conflict can improve trust, communication, accountability, and team culture • Why coaches should establish a conflict-resolution process before the season gets difficult • The danger of “three-way conflict” when players or parents complain to everyone except the person involved • Why parents should ask questions instead of immediately accusing or correcting • How emotional regulation can completely change the outcome of a difficult conversation • Why a 24-hour cooling-off period can help parents and coaches communicate more effectively • The difference between hearing someone and actually practicing active listening • How genuine apologies can repair trust after a coach, parent, or player makes a mistake • Why curiosity is more productive than judgment during conflict • How parents can accidentally rob their kids of important life skills by solving every disagreement for them • Why championship-level teams often become stronger by learning how to work through uncomfortable moments together One of the biggest takeaways from Bill is simple: conflict is not a battle to win—it’s a problem to solve. When athletes learn to manage their emotions, speak directly to teammates, listen before reacting, and work through disagreement, they aren’t just becoming better hockey players. They’re building communication and relationship skills they can carry for the rest of their lives. 📘 Bill Taylor is the founder and CEO of Sports Conflict Lab and the author of Managing Sports Conflict: Five Tools to Master Conflict.
