Young Guns Hockey

We are so proud of the hard work and effort of all our participants in our training sessions and Spring Hockey programs.   Congratulations to all of the (DOB) 2005 and 2006 players who have been selected to play in the OHL.  

Due to the cancellation of spring tryouts, we will be looking at holding Pre-Tryout sessions at a later date in summer.  Once schedules and dates have been released for Tryouts of different associations, we will look at booking some dates for some development sessions.   Check in at later dates for updates as information becomes available.   Stay Safe and Healthy! In the meantime, while you cannot get on the ice there are still many exercises and at home drills we can work on to continually keep our skills and bodies sharp!

NOTE: PRE-TRYOUT SESSIONS HAVE BEEN CANCELLED.  Keeping the health of safety of participants and hockey families as the foremost priority, YOUNG GUNS has decided to cancel all pre-tryout sessions.  Refunds/Credits will be issued in the near future.  Please see article from OHF about tryouts: OHF AND MEMBER PARTNERS STATEMENT ON SPRING TRYOUTS

This can be a stressful time of year for not only players trying out for different teams but the parents as well.  Sometimes the parents are more effected by tryouts than the kids.  Let's keep things in perspective, we all want the best for our kids but let's be aware of our emotions and actions and how they can be perceived by your kids.  You affect your child's psychology and the state of mind going into tryouts more than you think.  We can use these different situations during a hockey season, especially tryouts to teach our kids great life lessons.  It is up to you to understand ...

The greatest challenge that athletes have is to play their best when it really counts. Regardless of the level of competition, whether a championship, nationals, the Olympics, or the Stanley Cup, every athlete needs to rise to the occasion of the big game (I will use 'game' to denote any sports competition including those that are races and meets). That goal is accomplished by working hard in practice and being as prepared as you can be as the important game approaches Here are 5 tips to help you prepare for your next big game!
