According to a recent study, parents can be placed in an almost impossible situation during the summer. After investigating parenting magazine articles about the summertime, Quirke found that parents are told to rigorously structure their children’s days during their time off school, ensuring that they have a productive summer and don’t fall behind academically. Meanwhile, they must also “make the most” out of the two months of warm weather with fun activities to keep their children happy. For her study, “How You Should Spend Your Summer Vacation: Parenting Advice Regarding Children’s Time in Summer, 1985-2013,” Quirke analyzed 144 Today’s Parent magazine articles published between 1985 and 2013 that touched on the topic of summer. Fear was a strong theme in the parental advice about the summer.

Aaron Ekblad, D – A surefire NHLer who, at worst, can play on a team’s second pairing for the next decade or more. Some teams think Ekblad is the top prospect available. 2. Sam Bennett, C – The versatility of skills he brings to the table is incredible. Strong on the puck, talented and competitive. 3. Leon Draisaitl, C – The big, skilled playmaking center most teams need to win. 4. Sam Reinhart, C – Touted as the smartest player in the draft, Reinhart can play in all situations and has put up some serious numbers in junior. 5.
