New York turns into a hockey center
The South Mountain Arena is located in the state of New Jersey, 60 kilometers from New Rochelle, one of the suburbs of New York.
Getting there is not easy, especially during rush hour.
But difficulties never frightened the young Kevin Shattenkirk. He did his best to work on himself. He hoped that one day it would help him get into the NHL.
He now has eight seasons in this league under his belt.
He holds the first championship as a player of the New York Rangers. And he began to play in the New Rochelle Lightning team, which was founded in 1981 year. Kevin was the youngest of three brothers (Keith and Eric), but his dreams went beyond Westchester County.
At the time, the best hockey schools were in New Jersey. Therefore, Kevin and Keith began to play for the New Jersey Devils children’s team. Internal competition helped them develop. Distance didn’t bother them.
“A lot of times we would come home from school, pick up our trunks right away and go to New Jersey,” Shattenkirk says. “We did our homework and played hockey there.”
The history of Shattenkirk is familiar to many New York and suburban hockey players. Now this sport has taken root in the region, and most of the guys no longer have to leave home to learn how to play hockey. Qualified coaches have appeared here, the guys are already dreaming not about how to get into the NHL, but how to become a league star.
“It’s great to see this change. Young kids have a choice. There are a lot of teams in the region and they’re very good,” says Rangers defender Schattenkirk at Madison Square Garden, 30 kilometers from his home. in New Rochelle. – In my time it was not. All this began to develop when that period of my life was already over.”
January 1 (12:00 GMT) Shattenkirk will play in the NHL Winter Classic for the second time in two years: the Rangers will face the Buffalo Sabers at Citi Field. Last year, Shattenkirk played for the St. Louis Blues at Busch Stadium and helped the team beat the Chicago Blackhawks 4-1.
“That match will remain one of the most vivid memories of my life,” said Schattenkirk. “It’s not just a game. Your family and friends can rejoice with you. Such moments are especially memorable. You will remember them when you think about it many years later how my career went, what I saw during the years of playing hockey.
CBS Sports Network expert Dave Starman has coached various youth teams.
He believes that the national youth league development program (American Development Model – ADM) played a huge role in the development of hockey in the country. Thanks to her, coaches got access to the necessary materials, training methods, new ideas.
The ADM program was developed by the US NOC and the US government in 2014. She had a huge impact on the development of hockey in New York, primarily through the development of coaches.
“The US Ice Hockey Federation has made the coaching program better,” he says. “The program helps coaches get things right from the start. We’ve abandoned the philosophy that an eight-year-old team can be trained the same way as a ten-year-old team, and 10 year olds can be trained like 12 year olds. Every age has its own challenges and they need to be brought to the guys at the right time to prepare them for the next step. This is the biggest change from what it was in my time.”
The success of hockey in New York is already being felt in the NHL.
New Jersey Devils defenseman Steven Santini played hockey in the New York suburbs. The Carolina Hurricanes defender Brett Pesce took his first steps in this sport there. He started skating when he was three years old. Boston Bruins guard Charlie McAvoy grew up on Long Island and was drafted 14th overall in 2016. Next to him comprehended the basics of hockey Sonny Milano. He was selected 16th overall by the Columbus Blue Jackets in 2016. San Jose Sharks forward Kevin Labank was born in Brooklyn, but then his family moved to another area of New York, where he played for local teams.
In 2016, the St. Louis Blues drafted center Tage Thompson with the 26th overall pick. He also played hockey in New York and partnered with McAvoy in the United States National Team Development Program. Guard Adam Fox (Calgary Flames, 66th overall pick in 2016) and forward Jeremy Bracco (Toronto Maple Leafs, 61st overall in 2015) grew up not far from the city.
“There are a lot of good guys on the way,” says Schattenkirk.
“I feel like we’re the first generation of New York hockey players.”
Santini wanted to be the next Schattenkirk when he trained at the Brewster Ice Arena, built with the help of Santini’s father. Steven Santini now runs one of New York’s leading children’s teams.
“I’ve always looked up to Kevin,” said Santini, an alumnus of the USA National Team Development Program. It’s not just the guys in Massachusetts or Minnesota who can play hockey, I said to myself, “If he can do it, then I can do it.”0003
After the New York Islanders won the Stanley Cup four times in a row (1980-83), the guys living in this area of \u200b\u200bNew York believed in their dream. In 1992, the Rangers drafted twins Peter and Chris Ferraro. They became the first Long Islanders to break into the NHL (1995-96 season). They now work as coaches at the Islanders practice rink.
“That success caught the eye,” Chris Ferraro said of the Islanders’ victories in the 1980s. “Besides, our parents were in the sporting goods trade.
It all helped launch our careers.”
But the Ferraro twins had to travel all over America in the summer to find a good training camp. Their father often took them to Philadelphia, where they played for the Flyers children’s team. Then the family rented a house in Massachusetts so that the brothers could go to school and play in a local team. In 1990, the Ferraros moved to Iowa altogether, where Peter and Chris played in the junior division of the US Hockey League.
“You could say our family was ahead of its time,” said Peter Ferraro. about ourselves in other regions of the country and in Canada. It became a springboard for us.”
Montreal Canadiens defenseman Mike Komisarek (7th pick in the 2001 draft) was born on Long Island. He is the only native of the region to play in the NHL All-Star Game. It happened in 2009.
“My example was exemplary – I grew up on Long Island in a family of immigrants. I had no special talents, but I loved hockey very much and was ready to do anything to get to the next level,” said Komisarek, who is now a coach in Sabers player development – Growing up, I looked up to Peter and Chris Ferraro, guard Rob Scuderi (born in suburban New York and played 783 NHL games, winning the Stanley Cup with the Pittsburgh Penguins and Los Angeles Kings”).
I saw how guys living near me play in good hockey schools. And I thought that I could also play in these teams. I did it. Maybe someone, looking at me, decided, “I hope he should do it too. I hope there’s a new generation that’s growing up that saw us succeed in the NHL and decided they could do it too.”
So McEvoy decided and was not mistaken. He was the star of the Boston University team and then made a splash in the first round of the 2017 NHL Playoffs, in which Boston lost to the Ottawa Senators in six games. McEvoy provided three assists and spent an average of 26:12 on the ice.
His father, who owns a heating and plumbing company, helped fill the second-floor ice rink at Long Beach Arena, where three-year-old Charlie began learning to play hockey. Then he began to play in local teams, including with Bracco, whose father was the coach of that club.
“He knew a lot about hockey, understood how it developed,” said McAvoy. throw by ourselves. We were taught from the very beginning to play the pass.
I am very grateful to our coaches for that. They laid the foundation.”
The 2018 Winter Classic in New York will help get even more kids interested in hockey. On December 2, the Rangers held a practice session in the city’s Central Park and handed out 50 tickets to the upcoming game against Buffalo to the guys from the Harlem hockey school. Ten hockey players from this school will play at the auxiliary rink before the “Classics” match.
“Events like this are very good for kids and youth hockey, they attract attention,” Schattenkirk said. if it doesn’t work out, they’ll watch it on TV and realize how much fun hockey can bring.”
