Junior Hockey Tryout Guide Preparing for hockey tryouts can be a daunting task, whether you're aiming for a junior team, a college squad, or making the leap into professional hockey. After playing 20 years of hockey and trying out for 10+ teams and as a mental performance and development coach, I’ve seen firsthand the common challenges players face during tryouts. To provide you with the most comprehensive advice for junior tryouts, I sat down with fellow 26-year-old Brendan Furry, who is currently preparing for his NHL tryouts (Flyers Camp) after a successful first season in the AHL with the Lehigh Valley Phantoms. Together, we’ve compiled an extensive guide packed with valuable insights, advice, tactics, and strategies to help you make the most out of your tryouts this summer! Making the team is not luck, it has a lot to do with preparation and how you present yourself. We will start with general offseason preparation advice because it's the most important thing you can do to maximize your chances of a successful tryout. This will be relevant for any level of tryouts, but it will be most beneficial to junior players as the advice is generally more directed at that age group. https://wix.to/4vY6Svj

Ice hockey is characterized by its fast-paced action, physicality, and competitive nature. Players skate at high speeds, maneuvering the puck with skill and agility while facing intense pressure from opponents. The game involves frequent body checks, collisions, and battles for possession, adding to the adrenaline-fueled excitement on the ice.  In ice hockey, quick decision-making, anticipation of opponents' moves, and strategic execution are essential. Strong cognitive abilities enable players to react swiftly, seize scoring opportunities, and maintain focus amidst the game's speed and physicality. Our newest case study with Concept Hockey will walk you through some cognitive techniques athletes use to achieve more on the ice. Watch the case study here:
