Checking Program

Group 1

U15 / U16 / U18 (2008 - 2012)

Tuesday August 5th to Friday August 8th, 2025

9:00 to 10:00 PM

4 Sessions

Arena: Stew Hendry


This program consists of a ‘5 step progression coaching methodology starting from: (1-5 points)
  1. The basics of skating
  2. To position angling
  3. To stick checking
  4. To body contact / confidence
  5. To body checking
Through out this program, players will elevate their ‘checking education’ each time on the ice. Besides performing a progression of checking drills, players will be quizzed on:
  • A List of Checking Do’s and Don’ts and
  • Understand the importance of: SAFETY FIRST.
No matter their physical size, players will complete the program feeling:  
  • More knowledgeable about checking
  • Better able to give as well as receive a check
  • Eliminate the fear of being hit during play
  • More confident and safe on the ice.
 

PARENT’S ATTENTION – VERY IMPORTANT:

Safety First - To Prevent Injuries:

 
During the body contact / confidence and body checking portions of the curriculum we are performing a great deal of shoulder bumping type drills.
Please ensure your child's shoulder pads fit properly and provide sufficient protection. This will help prevent unnecessary injuries and ensure overall player safety during the program.
 

Ideally suited for but not restricted to:

  • 2nd yr U13 - U18 players and above who are “SERIOUS” about improving their awareness and confidence to feel comfortable and safe to play contact hockey.
Note:  
  • The on ice curriculum may vary - depending on the overall group’s skill level. Therefore, some of the more basic drills may be repeated or more advanced drills incorporated / accelerated to maximize overall players’ development
  • This is NOT JUST A HITTING PROGRAM but rather a CHECKING PROGRAM with a coaching methodology designed to educate and provide players with the necessary on ice tools and awareness to give and receive a check and most importantly ‘feel safe’ on the ice.
  • The reason a player delivers a body check is to separate an opposing player from the puck and gain puck possession.
  •  Excellent player to instructor ratio - 5 to 1.
