Skill Skates
Our Skill Skates are sessions that focus on the skills of each player, individually. They are designed to push players to improve their personal quality of play. Each skill skate features a detail orientated power skating regiment so players can work on their stride, and edge control. We also feature clinic type drills for stick handling, puck control, and shooting. Skill skates are designed to be meticulous, and educational. The aim is for players to be mentally engaged, thinking about the fine details of each drill so that by game-time, their reads and reactions become second nature.
Small Area Games
We implement Small Area Games, or "SAGs", in our sessions to create highly competitve drills that simulate game-like situations. The intensity, and the reduced space on the ice, forces players to make decisions quicker, thus increasing their hockey IQ. SAGs also improve players body positioning and conditioning due to the nature of the drills. And they improve players "soft-skills" such as stick handling, edge control, and the different type of releases in their shooting through maximizing puck touches in different scenarios.
4-on-4 / 3-on-3 Camps
These tournament style skates aim to push the pace of play for the skaters and create an atmosphere of competetion. 4-on-4 games are designed to simulate game-like situations such as dealing with momentum swings, working together as a team, and stategizing with a goal of winning the game. 3-on-3 games are designed to make better opportunists out of players, be more mindful of the importance of possession, and increase their discipline in body and stick positioning. 4-on-4 and 3-on-3 offer up a more fun format for playing with and against other players.
Video Coaching
We offer video breakdown in our coaching services to give players visual reference for improving their performance in sport. Watching game footage is a detrimental tool for young players to learn what works, and what does not work for their games. Video coaching pushes players to experience those "aha" moments where certain concepts click, or previous problems become clear. Inquire within for video coaching services to improve your mind for the game. Learn tips and tricks for breaking down game footage.
Goaltender Clinics
Our goaltending philosophy focuses on efforts to simplify your game. By maintaining patience, and discipline with every movement, we aim to improve goaltenders decision making. Goaltenders who maintain patience on their feet set themselves to make more saves, more often. Disciplined goaltenders that focus on the intricate details of their game will improve their fundamentals, and confidence. We feature sessions dedicated solely to goaltender development with high level instruction, skilled shooters, and a 2:1 or 3:1 goaltender to coach ratio.

Private sessions are available for coaching forwards, goaltenders, and defenceman. Sessions are tailored to the needs of the player(s) participating. Contact us for private sessions inquiries.
