This program will elevate a player’s ability to skating and handle the puck in a small area. NHL stars such as Sidney Crosby, Connor McDavid and Johnny Gaudreau are masterful at being shifty and unpredictable with the puck. They create time and space from opponents by avoiding, changing direction, changing speeds (by turning, stopping, pivoting, crossovers, 3 & 9’s, and shifting gears etc) and protecting the puck. This skill of being evasive allows a player to maintain control of the puck and create more offensive plays and scoring chances.
This combo skills program will consist of a good mix of:
- Evasive / tactical skating – changing direction and speed
- Puck Control - stationary, moving, use of teaching aids - pylons, puck danglers and attack triangles
- Battles and Compete - 1 vs. 1, 1 vs. 2, 2 vs.2, etc. and small area games
This program will improve a player’s control, confidence, creativity, and speed with the puck. As well, improve a player’s skating and puck control evasiveness, puck protection, quick hands, quick feet and overall game competitiveness.
Ideally suited for but not restricted to:
- 2nd yr U13 - U18 players who are “SERIOUS” about improving their tactical game skating and puck control skills, individual competitiveness and get to the next level of hockey.
- Players will be “pushed by the design of the program” to get out of their comfort levels to another level of skating.
- Being an older age or a larger size player - does not necessary equate to better skills!
- Players in the program will be divided into sub – groups based on ability.
Notes:
- 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.
- Excellent player to instructor ratio - 5 to 1.
