Hockey tries to banish disorder strictly approving of one dimensional stick play. This puts the primary focus on competition which distracts from actually playing the game. For those new to this dialogue, there is a stark difference between manufacturing hockey which is done almost everywhere today and playing hockey which is more fertile realm for a mature approach to the game.
By banishing disorder coaches attempt to implement a very orderly vision of how the game should be played while seriously constricting player growth and development. Players trust coaches to encourage a hockey that is worth playing, that will also help them understand the universally applicable concepts related to success. This is where coaches today fail.
They condition players to appease coaches, scouts, advisors in dangerous ways that run contrary to any individual development initiative. The hockey community suffers because of this.
By banishing disorder I mean there are really no surprises in the game today there are only mistakes. The territory that is the game is fully mapped. And no individual tied to the game can evolve from a closed system like this.
In one sense, hockey presents an ideal learning environment for young people to learn about challenges, grit, and persistence. In another sense, it is a manufacturing business that destroys individual mastery in favor of manager profit.
Two way hockey invites disorder back into the game. Two way hockey agility practitioners cozy up to disorder in pursuit of self mastery that will redefine the integrity of the hockey community and the individuals that comprise it.
