Prospect or Suspect?

On a recent visit to several Toronto area rinks, I noticed several hockey schools had boasted about some

of their students. It seems that everybody in Toronto

has coached Steven Stamkos and John Tavares. This

may indeed be true but upon further investigation it

became obvious to me that both Stamkos and Tavares were child prodigies when it came to hockey

and I would suspect that they both would have made

the NHL regardless of who they worked with.

You see, during my 10 year career I discovered that

there were basically 3 ways to make it to the top in

the sport of ice hockey.

1. You can make it if you posses natural God given

talent

2. You can make it if you have a relative high up in

the organization who is willing to pull strings for you

3 You can take advantage of the 20% rule

What is the 20% rule, you ask? Let me explain.

Give me any group of hockey players, let’s say 100.

I can assure you that based on my 25 + years experience that only 20% of those in the group will have

great talent, are highly self motivated and coachable.

You can easily recognize them as they are the ones

with their full attention on the coach, they are the

ones who execute every drill to the best of their ability, they are also the ones who frequently ask questions.

If you happen to be in this group, all you have to do

is outwork the rest of the group. If you notice someone in the group possessing better skills than you in

any particular area, simply find out what that player

does to have such superior skills and work twice as

hard to develop the same skill level. If the player is a

natural or a prodigy and can’t explain how they do it,

as most of these guys really don’t know how they do

it, simply analyze them and copy their every move.

I was at practice with the Maple Leafs this year and I

would marvel at how great Phil Kessel’s shot was. I

watched him go in on starting goalie James Reimer

and rip 2 shots high glove. I began to laugh and when he asked me why I was

laughing, I challenged him and bet him $10 that he

couldn’t do it again. He proceeded to walk in and do

the same thing 5 times in a row!! I asked him how

he does it and he responded “don’t you know I can

score on these guys any time I want?” I said “how

do you shoot the puck like that?”, and he simply said

“I don’t know, I just shoot, I have always been able

to do it”
