[quote=Roar]My son plays travel hockey at a Tier 1 level. We shut him down right after his season for a month (except for his private lessons 1x per week) and let him enjoy Lacrosse. I found that he's way more refreshed when he comes back to the ice vs. the year round kids. If you think you're kid might miss out on making the upper team by not playing in the spring league, sometimes the opposite is true. The kids flaws get noticed during spring and it can taint the coaches vs. the kid who comes in fresh at the tryouts and looks like the shiny new object. I also worry about wear/tear on joints and burnout, so letting them play something different is really great. A couple of years ago, Syracuse had a lax midfielder who was also Mr. Ohio in hockey. Syracuse coach commented on how much he loved that because 2 sport athletes can balance/time and pressure really well. [/quote]
