😊 YES... THERE WILL BE A COLLEGE HOCKEY NIGHT! 😊

Many are wondering how they can be seen by college coaches & scouts if we are not playing games.

On Thursday, November 12th the AHAI Girls Committee will be hosting a webinar that will shed light on what can be done during this pandemic to get your name & skills in front of college coaches, what to expect being a college athlete, nutritional need to know information, importance of injury prevention & rehab, and what else is out there for you in the hockey world.

Follow AHAI’s social media platforms & the AHAI website for registration details. Registration for this webinar will be November 1st to November 9th. The webinar link will be sent approximately 2-3 days before the event & to the email address used in your registration. Parents are encouraged to register & be part of this webinar as well.

By Greg Bates, Special to AHAI – Part of coaching is learning how to reach a group of players, each with their own individual personalities. So, a coach may ask, is a player’s gender a part of that? Should males and females be coached differently?

According to Heather Mannix, USA Hockey ADM Manager of Female Hockey, the answer is no. In fact, a study presented at an International Physical Literacy Conference showed that when girls aren’t given the same instruction, there can be negative side effects in the long run.
