The Ride To The Rink - The Benefits Of Ball Hockey With Sheri Hudspeth of the Vegas Golden Knights

Our Kids Play Hockey

Hello, hockey skaters and goalies around the world! Welcome back to another edition of The Ride to the Rink. This is Lee Elias with you today, and we have a special guest from the Vegas Golden Knights, Sheri Hudspeth. Sheri is the Director of Development for Youth Hockey and Fan Engagement, and she joins us to discuss the importance and benefits of ball hockey.

Sheri emphasizes that ball hockey is a fantastic way for ice hockey players to improve their skills at home. It’s also a great social activity, perfect for making friends and building community. For kids who enjoy hockey but aren’t great skaters, ball hockey provides a wonderful alternative to still enjoy the game. Plus, it’s excellent exercise!

Quotes:

•“Ball hockey is a great way to work on your skills at home. You can work on stick handling, shooting, and passing, which will all translate to the ice.” - Sheri Hudspeth

•“It’s a very low cost to get into the game. All you need are some shoes, a stick, a ball, and maybe a net. Just some gym clothes, and you can start playing right away.” - Sheri Hudspeth

•“Ball hockey is a great way to make friends, especially if you live in a neighborhood with a lot of kids. You can get a game going in the street, park, or gym.” - Sheri Hudspeth
