With the 10,000 Pucks Contest already logging in over 2.5 million shots, we thought it would be good to post a video covering some games you can play while you’re shooting your pucks to keep your training fresh!
The 10,000 Pucks Contest is a free contest dedicated to helping youth hockey players set and reach their goals while becoming a better shooter in the process. The premise is simple: set a goal of how many pucks you want to shoot this summer (Jun 1 – Aug 31) – then track your shots through the 10,000 Pucks website to measure your progress. The website is designed to allow coaches and associations to track the progress of their players in the off-season. Associations and coaches can set up teams in the contest – players can then join the teams, giving coaches and teammates access to their progress, thus creating accountability toward reaching their goals. The contest is free to use for players, coaches, and associations.
This year we’ve made some big improvements to the system. Here are a couple of the key upgrades you’ll find this year:
Track multiple players from the same login
iPad friendly interface (graphs & charts now load on most tablets / mobile devices)
Coaches: manage access to your team
Associations: create all your teams in one place and manage access by team
As another great 10,000 Pucks Contest comes to a close, it’s time to recap this year’s event. With over 800 participants from around the world and 3.5 million shots recorded, this was the biggest (and best) contest to date!
I would like to congratulate all the participants who took the time to focus in on their goals and dedicated themselves to improving their game. Whether your goal was 1,000 or 20,000 -- there is much to be said about setting a goal and putting in the effort to achieve it. By applying these principles on and off the ice, you will be successful in life!
