         In this section there are over 400 pages of quotes taken from the sporting world. They are easily accessed in the various hockey categories. It is an invaluable resource for players, coaches and parents looking for a new slant when they are talking hockey. Many find that they return to this section over and over looking for new ideas to motivate themselves and others.
          As well, It is useful for coaches or parents to browse through a particular section looking for words of wisdom when trying to get a particular point across. For example, if puckhandling is the problem, browse through the puckhandling and passing section. Likewise with defense, faking or any of the other divisions.           A typical 'Quote' follows:

      "It starts in practices when players have spare time or as part of the regular shooting drills . Over and over again they blast away at the puck striving to perfect the timing of their slap shot. With much time and practice they may succeed in developing a heavy slap shot. But there is a downside. When the game starts, their whole thinking is geared around this impressive slap shot. However, game time is different than practice time. A whole game game could go by without the opposition allowing you the room needed to get the shot away, and do not be mistaken, you need plenty of room to get the shot away. Meanwhile opportunities are missed when players fail to take snap shots, backhand shots, or wrist shots. Watch games closely and you will see the opportunities go by as players are trying to set up for the big slap shot. It turns coaches hair grey."
