Our one hour session will be broken into 3 areas:
-Small area games
-Skill-specific small group stations
-Live gameplay situations
This will ensure athletes are engaged, maximizing reps, and having fun!
Each week will focus on a new theme that will encompass the core foundations of hockey—skating, shooting, puck skills, reading the game. Our station-based practices involve breaking down skills into smaller, manageable components, allowing players to focus on specific aspects of the game. When integrated with a constraint-led approach, which introduces task-specific limitations and challenges, players are forced to adapt and problem-solve in real-game situations. This dual approach enhances players’ decision-making abilities, spatial awareness, and creativity on the ice. Additionally, it promotes individual skill development while fostering teamwork and communication among players.
