Spring Hockey is in the Air

Welcome Back to AEP newsletter! In this newsletter we'll take a quick look at the latest with AEP, a short excerpt on navigating spring hockey and then teaser to our upcoming SUMMER CAMP & CLINIC SCHEDULE!

Fall/Winter Wrap up

The Jets 12s had an incredible finish to the season. After a tough showing in the CSDHL playoffs in early February, they bounced back with determination to win the State Championship.

Here are other notable milestones for the 12s this year:
- Won the CCM Michigan Classic Tournament
- Finished 4th in the CSDHL Peewee Major Division

An amazing year all around — congratulations, boys!

A Fast and Quick Welcome to Spring Hockey

As an introduction to the spring hockey segment of the newsletter, We'd like to give a quick shoutout to the Jets 2016 Team making their debut as Squirts in the Battle on the Border Tournament. Making it a perfect 4-0 weekend, the boys displayed quality skill, but more importantly strong resiliency throughout the weekend (of April 11-13) to bring home the Championship!

Navigating the Waters of Spring Hockey

Whether you're aiming to move up playing levels or you're happy with where you're at, spring hockey is all about growth and development. There are plenty of opportunities to improve your game, but it’s important to stay focused on the right things. If you spend too much time worrying unimportant issues— you'll distract yourself and miss out on valuable chances to grow.

The best part about spring hockey is how fast the season moves. The quick pace gives players a fresh start to make an impression on coaches. More importantly, it provides feedback on what areas you need to work on over the summer to reach your full potential for the upcoming fall season.

Remember, the key focus for spring hockey should be identifying your areas for improvement and creating a plan to work on them. Focus on building your skills, setting goals, and using the spring season to prepare for success in the fall and winter!
