We get together to tackle the topic of "hockey sense" and attempt to answer the fundamental questions of, what is hockey sense? and how do you develop hockey sense? The major talking points that we cover include: -Ted’s life journey from Northern Minnesota through Alasaka to the KHL with many stops along the way -“Hockey Sense” vs. “Hockey IQ” – he changed my perspective on this! -Player identity and mental models of hockey -Problem solving, adaptability, and decision making -Youth hockey culture and the importance of play -The power of reflection Visit www.tjmanastersky.com
