Skate Out with the Everett Silvertips
Would you like your skater to be introduced at an Everett Silvertips home game as the 7th Skater? Your player can have a one of a kind experience lining up with the Silvertips starting line-up at a weekend game and being introduced while in full gear and your Washington Wild game jersey, have their name and team they play for called and skate to the blue line for the national anthem.
In addition the skater will receive four (4) green level seats, 8 rows from the glass in section 117 to enjoy the game from along with an autographed Silvertips puck from their favorite current Silvertip. Typically, the Silvertips photographer will snap some memories with his camera, you will be put into touch with him so you can arrange to purchase images of the event. Additional tickets for your group can be obtained at a discounted rate.
This offer is extended to any youth player from any association that would like to do this very limited special event. Cost for current Everett Youth Hockey Booster Club members is $99 and $145 for non-members.

Experts' Edge
Developing Speed at 8U and Beyond
The concept of a “window of trainability” might sound dramatic or advanced, but at the end of the day, the idea from USA Hockey’s American Development Model comes down to common sense.
It means, essentially, optimizing training methods to match ages and development windows of young hockey players. In sports, as in other aspects of development, there are stages. You don’t teach a child to read by handing him or her a copy of “War and Peace.” Hockey works the same way.
Scott Paluch, a regional manager for the ADM since 2009, helps explain one of the most important windows of trainability concept: the two times for maximizing speed training, and the differences in both.
Let’s get quick, and quickly
The first speed-training window falls roughly between the ages of 6 and 9 for boys and girls. It’s a time in a child’s development when they are especially receptive to a specific kind of speed training and can make dramatic gains that last a lifetime.
“This first window is all about quickness. Short bursts, multi-directional speed. Taking advantage of players and athletes moving quickly in all directions,” said Paluch. “What needs to be done is the same thing with running and sprinting and chasing. It’s focusing on a young child’s ability to accelerate and change directions.”
The idea is to do this work across short bursts of activity to reflect the physiology of the age group.
“What’s also happening along with that is you have suppleness and mobility as wide open windows. You’re combining both of those elements,” Paluch said. “They’re moving quickly, but their bodies aren’t designed yet for long distance. You’re aiming for quickness and multi-directional movement and in all athletic phases, getting agility, balance and coordination work.”
First window, second window
The second window--speed training--comes during the growth spurt ages – roughly 11-13 for girls and 13-16 for boys. In that window, you’re building upon the foundation laid during the first window.
“When you have the base of quickness, balance, coordination and agility …….
