My kid is 10. He's reasonably good and loves to be out on the ice. He gets a bit of "extra" skills sessions that I pay for where they do a bit of dryland stuff. We go to the ODR a fair bit too.
Despite some gentle nudges to do a bit of solo training on his own - nothing serious like time in the weight room or whatever, just fun stuff, like stickhandling or shooting pucks in the driveway during the summer - he won't do it. I'm wondering if this will start to hold him back a bit as the kids get older and more serious about things? I don't want to press him on it but I am curious as to what age people feel that this type of training stops being "extra" and becomes more of a "must"?
