There are two theories on this issue. Theory #1 says to play hockey and continue to develop hockey skills on a yearly basis. Theory #2 says not to play spring hockey and play other sports to develop athleticism. People often ask us, should we be playing other sports or just focus on hockey?
In our opinion there is no problem with playing other sports during the spring and summer months. It might be beneficial to take some time off of hockey to reduce the chances of being burnt out. Some sports even help encourage athleticism and might even help develop faster reactions and skills. It’s recommend while playing other sports you work on at least one aspect of your game such as skating. You might even find that your chances of getting a scholarship increase as scouts are looking for athleticism and other sports do provide that. Playing sports whether hockey or other sports require conditioning, it might be wise to spend more time and money on conditioning.
