The emergence from covid-19 is an opportunity to refocus and re-imagine why we play hockey once the pandemic recedes.
For some, the pandemic has led to a questioning of what the benefits of playing an organised sport. More family time was an opportunity for a reconnection within the family. For others, it was a loss of motivation (more time on the couch) and a drop in fitness or loss of skills.
The return to hockey will involve returning to a more regulated life. Training and games take time and need to fit in with family life. Players with a strong passion for hockey may have had their passion strengthened but for others the struggle to maintain fitness and a decrease in self-confidence will make it more difficult.
What is needed is more emphasis on fun and social connection. A shift in focus from competing to win to a focus on playing of hockey and the wider benefits of being part of a community.
