Tip of the Month: Stop in Front of the Net
How about if you shoot, and then stop right in front of the net to see if there is a rebound (I mean in the unlikely event you didn’t bury it in the back of the net.) Try it. It sounds easy. Physically it is not a hard thing to do, but it definitely falls under the category of teaching an old dog a new trick.
I can almost guarantee you that if you are in the habit of skating past the net, you will not be able to do this unless you really focus on it. Retrain yourself to stop in front of the net, and see if you don’t get a few more goals per season.

Top 10 Reasons Your Spouse Should Let You Go to Hockey Camp
Last month I promised a new Top 10 list for March. Here it is…and this one actually has 10!
10) Two words: Spring Cleaning. Think how nice the house will smell for the 4 days without your hockey gear around.
9) It’s a lot cheaper than that baseball fantasy camp you wanted to go to.
8) It’s a lot less dangerous than sky diving camp. (You should be concerned if your spouse has shown you brochures for skydiving camp and recently upped your life insurance policy.)
7) The government is sending you money to stimulate the economy. Why would anyone want to stop you from being a Patriot?
6) Can you say “Shopping Spree”? (In your absence, that is. Hey, everything has a price.)
5) You will be so sore and tired upon return, you won’t be asking for sex for a week.
4) Because it will make YOU happy (I hear this actually works in some situations.)
3) In your absence, your spouse will be able to watch something besides hockey on TV.
2) When you come home, as payback you will be your spouse’s slave for a month. Finally that “Honey Do” list will get some attention.
And the number one reason your spouse should let you go to hockey camp:
1) Your spouse has seen you play hockey!
What? You say you don’t have a spouse or significant other? Well then, I hope you have enjoyed our list. You should also enjoy the fact that you don’t need a reason to go to hockey camp! Check out our 2008 camp dates. We hope to see you there, if your spouse REALLY loves you.
