Tampa Bay Lightning Care : Do's and Don'ts of Public Skating for Hockey Players

It's kind of hard to say that all the rinks in the country have the same standards. They do all this and more where my kids skate. The rink is admittedly not very strict about anything, and the other rink nearby is completely unsupervised during open skate.

Great idea on switching directions. I've never seen that except at a roller rink!

Thanks for the input Brent and kudos to you for your head's up thinking regarding your child's stress level regarding the game. You bring up a good point about the importance of really listening a being in tune with your player so that you will know when they have had a bit too much. Any other thoughts on this?

Thank you for providing this very valid issue. Do any other readers have ideas on this? My best advice is to keep your child involved as best you can. When he does catch up, he could very well overtake those players who have peaked at younger ages.
