Ici sont rassemblés les textes que j'écris sur le hockey mineur : ce que la feuille de match ne raconte pas, ce que les statistiques montrent quand on prend la peine de les compter, et ce que ça change pour un jeune joueur. Certains paraissent d'abord ailleurs, tout se retrouve ici.

RinkLog in Journal Ici l'Info: a player logbook born in Boischatel

Our local paper told the story of how the app came to be. Here is the story behind RinkLog, in my own words.

On September 16, 2026, Journal Ici l'Info published an article about RinkLog and how it was built in Boischatel, Quebec. A good moment to explain why a scoresheet says almost nothing about a child's game, and what changes when a logbook follows their progress all season.

The Ride Home: What a Parent Says After the Game Matters More Than the Score

Kids quit sport because it stops being fun, and what they call fun has almost nothing to do with the score. What the research says about the car ride home.

The game ended twelve minutes ago. The bag is in the trunk, the windows are fogging up, and there is a sentence on the tip of your tongue. You know the one. It starts with "You know, on that second goal, if you had..." The research on youth sport is surprisingly clear about that sentence.

Hockey Is the Only Sport That Forgets Its Own Players

Football figured out how to credit a role player decades ago. Hockey still hands out goals and assists and calls it a night.

Two to one. Your team wins. On the drive home, one name gets repeated: the kid who put in the rebound in the third. But there was another kid on that ice who killed close to ten minutes shorthanded, and nobody said his name in the car. That is not a failure of the parents in the car. It is a failure of the scoresheet.
