THE GAME PLAN
Strategy, mindset, and motivation to sharpen your competitive edge.
Hockey is 10% physical and 90% mental. Your gear is ready, but is your head in the game? This section is your daily briefing—a collection of strategies, directives, and reminders to help you set the standard, lead by example, and execute when it counts. Read it. Visualise it. Execute it.
THE GRIND
Work Ethic & Discipline
The Standard
You don't get the game you wish for. You get the game you work for. Earn your ice time.
The Reality
Talent is just the starting line. Grit is the engine that gets you to the finish.
The Legs
When your lungs burn, your legs feed the wolf. Keep moving.
The Shadow Work
Champions are built in the empty gym and the early morning rink. Love the work.
THE CREST
Teamwork & Sacrifice
The Golden Rule
Play for the name on the front, not the name on the back.
The Mathematics
An assist makes two people happy. A goal only makes one. Be a playmaker.
The Sacrifice
Blocking a shot hurts for a minute. Letting in a goal hurts forever. Pay the price.
The Bond
Great teams don't just play together. They suffer together and they win together.
THE MENTAL GAME
Leadership & Composure
The Response
It's not about the mistake you just made. It's about what you do on the very next shift. Reset.
The Temperature
Panic is contagious. So is calm. Be the one who settles the storm.
The Definition
Leadership isn't about being the best player on the ice. It's about making everyone around you better.
The Focus
Control the controllables: Your Effort. Your Attitude. Your Focus. Let the ref handle the rest.
