Summary
Derek Bujan goes solo and tackles a hot youth-hockey debate: does winning matter at ages 9–11? After seeing a viral clip claiming “winning doesn’t matter — only development,” Derek argues that’s an incomplete definition of development. He explains why confidence must be owned, why resiliency is the real goal, and how competitive moments create the life lessons kids need. Plus, Derek shares a powerful story from his son’s Oakville Winter Classic run and the post-game response that proved why this matters.
