Good topic.

Something I always thought important in Dany Heatley's development was he started to play with his dad and the rest of us when he was 12. Before that him and his younger brother Mark would play hockey with a tennis ball in the arena while we played. When he got about 16 or 17 we made a rule that he had to get two assists between goals which forced him to look around. Also his dad who was in the WHA and player of the year twice in Germany was playing with him and giving him advise. He also played street hockey for hours at his house.
