This week Topher and Jeff talk with Dave Moss, former 500+ game NHL player and University of Michigan alum. Moss was drafted to the NHL as a 7th rounder, but didn’t play Tier 1 hockey growing up - he only played AA and high school. Now as a youth hockey coach himself, he joins us to talk about his path to the NHL.
In this episode we talk about:
— Being careful to not strip confidence from young players
— Asking the kids what they truly want
— The innate resiliency of young athletes
— The best way to teach passing at the younger levels
AND SO MUCH MORE!
