title: [Socialization on the role of the coach in minor league hockey].
abstract: The purpose of this study was to examine the effectiveness of the socialization model developed by Kenyon and McPherson (1973) to determine the degree of socialization of minor league hockey coaches. A questionnaire was administered to 333 current coaches and 175 former coaches from the Quebec City area. Results showed that the coaches' perception of their competence, the degree of watching professional hockey as a spectator, the material factors, and the influence of the peer group were positively associated with their degree of socialization; however, the influence of their own children on the decision to be a coach was negatively associated with their degree of socialization. Results also show that less than 30% of the variance was explained by the model. Different research strategies are suggested in order to better investigate the phenomenon.
