Playing hockey has long been a treasured pastime in North America, and you may be thinking about signing your children up for house league hockey. At Rick Heinz Goalie School, we have worked with many families and trained very skilled players. Through our years of experience, we have learned that house league hockey offers young players numerous benefits.
As a parent, you understandably want to raise healthy, active children. Hockey is a great team sport that can provide a substantial amount of physical activity for children. In addition, children learn how to work together successfully while also taking instruction from coaches. These are valuable life skills that can benefit your kids for decades to come.
Many people aspire to play professionally in the National Hockey League. While competition is fierce, these top athletes often start their career playing in a house league locally at a young age. All professional athletes must get a start somewhere, and a house league is a great place to get an early start on skills development and foster a true passion for the sport.
Of course, not all young athletes will grow up to play in the NHL. Participation in hockey as a young child often develops into a love of the game. Many of the top fans of NHL teams are those who grew up playing the game themselves.
Some parents think that hockey is a very dangerous sport that can lead to serious head injuries and more. Injuries can occur in any sport, including swimming, gymnastics and other non-contact sports. House league-level hockey is generally safe, and serious injuries at this level are rare.
Each type of activity that your children become involved with can cost a small fortune, and you may worry that hockey would be too expensive to play regularly. However, house league hockey is comparable in cost to many other activities. Furthermore, you can keep expenses lower by purchasing consignment or used equipment and gear.
Our team at Rick Heinz Goalie Schools want to help your children improve their skills while refining their passion for the sport. Learn more about our hockey and goalie camps.
