Dear Ice Dogs Travel Families,

I am so excited to partner with the Ice Dogs again for this upcoming season! The Ice Dogs is an organization near and dear to me, and I'm really looking forward to being an added perspective for everyone in the organization.

We've taken a lot of your feedback from last year on how we could be better and built some really cool things we think will add to your youth hockey experience. Whether you are a coach, player, or parent, we've built and added a ton of resources that we can't wait to share with you.

For example, we are continuing to do a weekly coaches development call across all the organizations that we work with that the coaches will have access to. We are adding a monthly player life skills call that all of the kids will be invited to where we will speak on specific "skills" they will learn in hockey that will translate to their lives outside of the rink. We've also added a second parents session for later in the year to continue to provide guidance on the ever-changing and confusing youth hockey world.

The thing we are really excited to unveil here this fall is an online portal and file sharing platform that will give you access to all our resources tailored towards players, parents, and coaches!!! We've been working diligently all year to provide more to you and can't wait to share this with you. For parents, we have resources like a parent guidebook for the season and keys to a great car ride home. For players we have resources including a goal setting guide and a physical/mental wellness guide. For coaches we have a host of different resources including access to 100+ drills, practice planning tips, team building activity guides, and more.

All in all, we want to be there for everyone to provide our perspective and help you enjoy the youth hockey journey with your kids. Hockey is a lifestyle...an AMAZING lifestyle...and our mission is to bring all the positivity and resources we can so you can have an AMAZING experience.

As always, please feel free to reach out. Looking forward to the season!!
