Russian Power Skating

Skating drills designed to lengthen and strengthen the players' stride. Lots of edge work, inside, outside, toe and heel. Lateral speed and agility, quick feet, explosive power are all part of the Russian Power skating technique.

Body Checking Clinics

Hockey is a high-speed, impact sport and failure to be proficient at receiving a check can result in serious injuries. For this reason, we feel compelled to offer what we believe to be the very best checking clinics available. The main focus of these sessions is to better prepare the player to give and receive a body check. Topics such as body positioning, balance avoiding the check, roll checks, rap checks, pins and others are all demonstrated and practiced until perfected. A note to all is that we have found that the best skaters are often the best checkers. We strongly recommend that all players who are experiencing difficulty in giving and receiving body checks should take a critical examination of their skating skills. Better results will be assured if the player combines our checking clinic with a skill level appropriate hockey session.

European Stick Handling

These are the moves, fakes, and dekes, that help the player avoid a check. Pull-ins, push-outs, spin-o-ramas, front fake, double fake and many others are taught at a ever increasing speed until the player becomes proficient and can execute at game speed.

Tape to Tape Passing

The art of passing is one of the most important and yet least stressed skills in hockey today. Drills to enhance passing skills are repeated until the player is able to pass with a high degree of skill.

Prolific Scoring

Scoring is 10% skill and 90% attitude. Players are taught to have the confidence to 'pull the trigger'. To some it is a mystery how a player with similar skills to his teammates is able to lead the team in scoring. The difference lies in his or her's attitude. Scoring can be taught.

Defense Clinics

Scoring is fun but defense wins the game. So much emphasis in minor hockey is placed on scoring and offence at the expense of defense. Our defense clinics are some of the best around. Body positioning, taking the man, patience, puck distribution, seeing the ice are all skills that are necessary to be a responsible two way player. These clinics are recommended for forwards as well as aspiring defensemen.
