My Pathway to Pro Hockey: Logan Vande Meerakker Learning more about Logan's hockey journey from Jr. B to pro hockey in the SPHL was amazing. That's why we thought it was important to pass on that information, as he had some great advice for young athletes. -The Game is 90% mental and confidence is key. -Don't try to pass up the good plays for a great play, as time and space become increasingly limited. -Your hockey journey won't be linear. #hockey #juniorhockey #collegehockey #prohockey

Transcript

After Major I didn't get any junior camp invites so I went to school where I ended up playing Junior beat Nova Scotia and I got invited to my first camp in the Maritime League as 20 year old. So I was an age out rookie, made the most of that opportunity, ended up committing Norwich University where I played my freshman and sophomore year. Junior year I transferred Alvernia to play for Coach Burke where I was lucky to be a part of a great program. My own individual success opened some doors and pro for after the season right into the year in the SPHL for the Evansville Thunderbolts gained a lot of great experience. Moving forward in my professional career, just a couple pieces of advice for any younger players that are tuning in here. The first would be the games 90% mental, so it's really crucial for you to be confident in yourself and your skill set. The second would be don't try to pass up the good plays, always looking for the great one. Time and space is gonna become limited the more you move up the ladder as a hockey player, so you need to be able to read the game and understand what it's giving you in different situations. You'll see that if you're consistently making good plays throughout a game or throughout your season, you're gonna find yourself in a lot more situations where you're going to be able to make those. 8 plays Best luck on your hockey journeys. It's not really linear for anybody. There's upstairs down so just keep grinding through it and I'm confident the best is yet to come for each of you.

Is a hockey player more than their stat line? Many players get VERY consumed by their production. It is ALL they are concerned about. However, HOW YOU PLAY THE GAME, is often of more concern to scouts. Listen to Cam Robinson describe how he compiles a player evaluation.
