Program Description

TUESDAYS:
In this session we focus on skating technique, with the thought that practice makes permanent, but perfect practice makes perfect. Any technical flaw in a skater’s stride acts as a limiting factor in how good that skater can become.

• Forward/Backward Strides
• Explosive Starts
• Back Power Starts
• Power Turns
• Stopping
• Forward/Backward Crossovers
• Overspeed Training
• Edge Development

THURSDAYS:
In this session the emphasis is placed on individual puck skills. Along with the puck skills each day at least one new hockey concept or team skill will be taught. The session will also feature a daily scrimmage that will allow the camper the opportunity to practice his/her newly acquired skills.

• Stickhandling
• Shooting (wrist shot, slapshot, backhand)
• Passing
• Checking/Angling
• Cycling/Puck Protection
• Positioning
• Attack Zone Triangle
