Podcast Segment for Parents #5
The audio segment published here takes you directly to the Parent Segment from this episode.
This week Hutch, Woody and Daren answer a recent question seen on Facebook asking what app people use to track shots on goal – and out answer is not what you might expect.
- Weigh the difference between an invited junior camp and an open (pay-to-attend) camp before committing money and time.
- Some junior camps are viewed as cash grabs by teams, while others offer genuine scouting exposure — context matters.
- Getting your goalie in front of scouts and junior teams can have real value, but only when the opportunity is the right fit.
- Hutch, Woody, and Daren recommend thinking through all possibilities rather than following a one-size-fits-all rule.
- Tracking shots on goal came up as a bonus topic — and the hosts' recommended app may surprise you.
In this week’s parents segment we tackle a common question about whether to send your goalie to a junior camp they were invited to – or one that is being promoted as open.
Opinions on this topic range from – ‘it’s a waste of money and a cash grab by teams’ to ‘absolutely, my kid needs to get in front of scouts and teams.’
Hutch, Daren and Woody chat about the subject and all the possibilities hoping it will provide you with some food for thought as you make your decision.
