Concerns of Minnesota Hockey:
 Attrition rates for players, coaches, and referees are increasing. (Statistics suggest
up to 70% of players quit hockey by the age of 13).
 Skill development and fun are sometimes placed second to winning.
 Emphasis on winning has taken the game away from the players.
 Aggressiveness of parents
 Coaching Expertise
In response to this concern, Minnesota Hockey has developed a new, innovative
program to help give the game back to the kids. The Hockey Education Program (HEP)
includes skill development for players, education for coaches and parents, and
accountability for all stakeholders in hockey today.
We encourage all players and parents to visit www.minnesotahockey.org and learn
more about HEP. Also, we may be able to obtain further materials from our ACE
Coordinator, if interested.
