Unlock Your Potential on the Ice!
Our skill development focuses on puck handling, shooting, hockey awareness, passing, stick skills, angling, and body positioning. Our drills are designed to simulate game-like situations, providing hundreds of puck touches to reinforce essential skills. We emphasize the connection between each drill and real game scenarios.
To build proficiency, we follow a structured approach:
-
Crawl: Start by understanding the fundamentals of stick, hand, and foot positioning.
-
Walk: Progress through the drills to build confidence with edge work and puck handling.
-
Run: Execute the drills at game speed to simulate real game conditions.
This method ensures that players develop the skills needed to excel on the ice.
