STICKS HOCKEY
Summer Elite Training Program

We have developed a summer program designed for improving hockey players' skating and skills through on and off-ice elite level training. Players will have 1 hour of on-ice training followed by 1 hour of off-ice training. The on-ice training will have a main focus on proper skating techniques. These basic skating techniques will be continually reinforced every time the player steps on the ice. “In order for a player to form a proper habit or change a bad habit, that player must practice the proper form for hundreds or even thousands of repetitions.” The players will be trained in developing power and explosiveness while skating straight, through turns, from a dead stop and with and without the puck. We will incorporate other hockey skills such as shooting and puck control. Players will be more confident for the upcoming season.

The off-ice training will consist of hockey skills such as shooting/stride board technique and functional athletic movements. Body weight exercises will also be incorporated. Developing proper off-ice training habits can benefit athletes for years.

"I have trained for upcoming hockey seasons for 20+ years at high levels and realize the value in proper training. On and off-ice training should simulate and sometimes exceed the pace or intensity of a mid-season or playoff game. Players that are prepared have a distinct advantage with other players when the season starts. Our coaches have playing experience that can be passed along to the young hockey player in a positive, disciplined and energetic manner."
