What Kids Learn From Playing Hockey

How To Respect Others

No matter who wins, hockey is about good sportsmanship. At the end of each game, the players line up in the center, shake hands and congratulate each other for their game and the effort they put into it. Respecting others and their contributions is an important life skill.

Teamwork

Working with your team to achieve a common goal is a major skill that applies well to education and a professional career. The teamwork skills instilled by hockey including communication, encouragement, and sharing in the victory will set your child up for success elsewhere.

Adversity And How To Overcome It 

There are a ton of difficult moments in hockey. Whether it’s getting knocked down, or being called for a penalty. It’s a sport that closely mirrors the ups and downs of life. Hockey teaches how to get back up when the going gets tough, and shows the path to working with a team to get through the harder parts.

Gets Them Active

In a digital world full of distractions, it feels harder to get out and stay active. Hockey is the perfect excuse to get your kids up and at it. Although practice and games are intense and the health, cardio, muscle, and coordination development benefits that come from this activity are significant and positive.
