The audio segment published here takes you directly to the Parent Segment from this episode.
In our Parents Segment, presented by the Stop It Goaltending U app, we talk about all the worry about getting your kids exposure to scouts – and give you permission to relax and enjoy the ride.Â
David Hutchison points out a widely-circulated promotion for a program that promotes exposure to scouts for children as young as six, arguing it unnecessarily stresses parents. He emphasizes that early exposure to scouts at ages six, seven, and eight does not impact a child’s hockey future and can be misleading. Hutchison highlights that most NHL players did not participate in the Brick Tournament and that exceptional players like Connor McDavid and Connor Bedard were noticed at older ages. He advises focusing on building confidence and enjoying the game rather than worrying about early discovery. Hutchison also shares personal stories to illustrate that scouts primarily focus on players during their draft years.
