Bio-banding finally coming to NA hockey!! 👏🏻 (It’s already being adopted in USA soccer). Been waiting years for this. C’mon 🇨🇦 we’re next. 😊 Helpful for players, families, coaches, scouts, & agents to understand growth & maturation for assessing, scouting, and planning.
Thank you to @usahockey for including our program in your bio-banding study yesterday and to the @BlueJacketsNHL on opening up @NationwideArena for the experience! Bio-banding is a method of grouping athletes based on their biological age and maturity, rather than their…

I've spent over a decade coaching elite performers in professional sports, Olympic sports, and elite military units. The truly great ones recognize their mentality as a competitive edge. Here are the 3 mindsets that separate the best from the rest:
So happy for my son Ty, his teammates, and the whole organization! What a fantastic way to end the season! Winning league Championships is no easy task and it takes way “more” than people realize.
CONGRATULATIONS, @AbbyCanucks! 🏆 CALDER CUP CHAMPIONS!
Yay, Ty and team!! What a season!! A fantastic experience to be a part of. Winning League (in this case the AHL) Championships takes much “more” than people realize.
YOUR ABBOTSFORD CANUCKS ARE THE 2025 CALDER CUP CHAMPIONS! 🏆
Extremely proud of this team, staff, and entire organization including billets, families, and more. There’s many moving parts to have a championship year. In the 4 years I’ve been with them there’s been a gradual build up to this moment. 👏🏻
THE MEMORIAL CUP IS COMING BACK TO LONDON!!!!!!!!
The @LondonKnights are #MemorialCup #Champs @OHLHockey @CHLHockey
So happy my son got to play for him. @JeffLoVecchio … maybe you can meet Ty at the alumni golf this year… loved WM’s hockey program 👏🏻 👏🏻 👏🏻
“I should never have to coach effort… or I’ve recruited the wrong player.” Unreal quote here from @WMUHockey national championship winning coach @patfersch on the power of player accountability on a team. This is a must watch for all players and coaches. 🎙️…
The first team to win three straight Wayne Gretzky Trophies.
Super excited to have received an advanced copy of Professor Malina new edition of 'Growth, Maturation, Physical Activity and Sport. Some great new and updated content. Recommended reading for anyone studying or working with young athletes 👏🏃♀️🏃♂️
Beyond thrilled for WM.
"That's an old headline it's a $515M stadium being built right now.. We want it to be the best arena and the best performance center in College Hockey.. This is an arena built with imagination and not a budget" ~ @patfersch #PMSLive
Or in 🇨🇦 either.
Last week I lectured on Training during the Adolescent Growth Spurt in Amsterdam. An attendee asked me - "so there must be a lot of this (assessment of G&M, biobanding, etc.) going on in the U.S. Can you speak to share some of it." My response: Unfortunately, very little if any.…

Happy for Owen! That’s 3. NHL signed players off ONE U18 AAA team from our lil’ AthLeadership prog in our lil’ school. 👏🏻 👏🏻 👏🏻 Late bloomers be late blooming! Understanding devp, resiliency, work ethic, support, patience (& often opportunity), key contributors for LBs.
SIGNING ALERT ‼️ We have signed goaltender Owen Say to a one-year, two-way contract with an AAV of $872,500, which starts in the 2025-26 season! #Flames | @original16beer
I have been waiting years and years for hockey to learn about bio-banding. I’ve taught this concept for years to hockey players & they are thankful to learn & then apply to their devp plans. 👏🏻 👏🏻 👏🏻 Come to 🇨🇦 pls. I live in an area btwn Detroit & Toronto- lots of hockey .
Great to see @usahockey experimenting with the concept of bio-banding. @TLexercise @jornalind have already done some interesting work in this area 👏🇺🇸🇸🇪🏒
If teenage athletes want to take a big step forward in development, it's wise to try to “out-sleep” and “out-eat” their peers. These two things are powerful "magnifiers" of everything they do in skill development and strength and conditioning.
