Presented by
In the Parent Playbook, presented by Stop it Goaltending U the App, Hutch has a great reminder about “the stuff that lasts,” the value of goalie friendships, and the importance of the language parents use when talking about their child’s goalie partner.
Key Takeaways
- Goalie friendships formed during youth hockey are among the most enduring rewards of playing the position.
- Choose your words carefully: the language parents use when discussing their child's goalie partner directly influences how that child thinks about their teammate.
- Framing a goalie partner as a rival rather than a teammate can undermine relationships that could last a lifetime.
- Parents play an active role in shaping the goalie culture their child experiences, starting with everyday conversation.
