What others are saying:
“The program is absolutely fantastic. I know its implementation will take some time, but the principles behind the program are dead on.”
BRIAN BURKE
General manager of the Toronto Maple Leafs and the general manager for the 2010 U.S. Olympic Men’s Ice Hockey Team.
“We should always strive to do the right things for kids and the American Development Model does just that. I think as hockey has evolved in our country, coaches and parents have certainly tried to do the right thing in regard to development. But we haven’t had a national blueprint for associations to use – something that is based on solid research – until now. This is a major step forward and USA Hockey is to be commended for its leadership.”
RON WILSON
2010 U.S. Olympic Men’s Hockey Coach, 7th All-Time Winningest Coach in NHL History.
“I think it’s pretty cool (the American Development Model). I like the fact that kids are encouraged to play other sports. Hockey is a great sport, but playing other sports definitely helps you become a better hockey player.”
