This is a specialized technical skating and tactical skating game program. This program focuses on specific forward skating and backward skating skills - mainly quickness & speed development - as well as small area tactical game play.
- The program is designed to help players improve their foot speed and overall striding speed both forwards and backwards. In addition, to elevate their tactical skating / game play from participating in a variety of tense / challenging small area games.
This curriculum consists of 5 key components:
1: Tactical / Game Skating: (10%)
- Session Warm Ups
- Evasive Skating - emphasizing & teaching game skating deception with a puck
2: Forward Technical Skating: (25%)
- Extreme Edges
- Forward Striding
- Speed - technique and long distance skating
- Quickness - technique and short distance skating
- Lateral movement / crossovers
3: Backward Technical Skating: (25%)
- Extreme Edges
- Backward Striding / Speed
- Speed - technique and long distance skating
- Quickness- technique and short distance skating
- Transition Skating - Backwards to Forwards etc.
4: Resistance Training: (10%)
- Use of “Parachutes” to develop strength and power in the player’s forward and backward striding.
- 3 vs. 3 Play in N/Z, O/Z Down Low & Along the Boards
- Puck Protection / Keep Away 2 vs. 2
- Puck Protection / Battles 1 vs. 2 & 1 vs. 1
- Tag, Mirror Your Partner & The Camp Drills etc.
- Develop a strong technical skating base.
- The strong technical skating will help elevate evasive / tactical skating skills.
- The evasive / tactical skating skills will enhance overall small game play / competition successes.
Ideally suited for but not restricted to:
- 2nd year U13 - U18 players who are “SERIOUS” about improving their forward and backward technical skating, tactical game skating supplemented with resistance training, and small area competitive games to 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 overall ability.
Note:
- The on ice curriculum may vary - depending on the overall group’s skill level to maximize overall players’ development.
- Excellent player to instructor ratio - 5 to 1.
