Pre Game Routines


Do you ever feel nervous before a big game? Anxious, difficulty focusing or lacking confidence? 

According to Patrick Cohn of Peak Performance Sports, top athletes utilize a pre-competition or pre game routine that helps reduce distractions, minimize anxiety and allows them to slowly narrow their focus. 

If you’re not focused on your warm-up routine, distractions, past performances and noisy spectators create anxiety and doubt in your ability.

Minor Hockey Memories: Terry Ryan 

Elite Level Hockey recently asked a number of former professional players to reminisce about their favorite youth hockey memories, and to discuss what they would change about today’s youth hockey culture. 

Terry Ryan was the Montreal Canadiens’ first-round pick and the eighth overall selection at the 1995 NHL Entry Draft. 

A native of Mount Pearl, Newfoundland, Ryan represented Canada at the ISBHF ball hockey tournament and has been a part of teams that captured both world and national championships.
