Episode 65: “If You’re Good, They’ll Find You” w/ Connor & Kellen Jones

Scott and Jamie sit down with Connor Jones, assistant coach at Princeton, and Kellen Jones, assistant coach at Holy Cross, for a raw look at twins, recruiting, compete, and what college coaches actually notice.The Jones brothers talk about growing up in a small-town hockey environment with no spring hockey, no summer hockey, no power skating, and no early hype - just hard work, other sports, and a family standard built around competing. Now on the recruiting side, they explain what really jumps out when watching players: body language, response after mistakes, motor, work ethic, and whether a kid gives up on plays. They also explain why parents need to stop over-talking and let the player show who they are on the ice. In this episode: What college coaches actually notice  The red flags: body language, quitting on plays, and parent noise  How recruiting has changed with agents, the portal, and more players available  Why compete, character, and fit still matter If you think recruiting is just points and exposure, this one will reset your brain.Princeton Men's Ice Hockey: https://goprincetontigers.com/sports/mens-ice-hockeyHoly Cross Men's Ice Hockey: https://goholycross.com/sports/mens-ice-hockeyPartners:https://www.instagram.com/bigjohndangles/https://hockeytraining.com/https://www.titanbattlegear.com/crazyhockeydadshttps://howieshockeytape.com/https://www.athleticperformanceinsight.com/Socials:TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@crazyhockeydadspodcastX: https://x.com/CrazyhockeydadsInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/crazyhockeydadspodcast/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/people/Crazy-Hockey-Dads-Podcast/61578631923150/
