Team Concepts: This skate is designed to focus on the team fundamentals and practice the game to transfer components. Too many times we work on skills but do not know where or how to apply them in game situations. This is an opportunity to learn from NCAA-caliber coaching and teaching while learning how to apply the skills and concepts learned.
Reps: This skate is designed to focus on the fundamentals and advanced skills of the game such as skating, puck handling, passing, and shooting. The position-specific drills will be designed to increase offensive awareness and productivity while focusing on proper technique and quality repetition. Most drills will be done with a puck on the stick to improve confidence and ability.
Skating:
- Advanced skating techniques and agility
- Build and refine your skating skills at HHS with a triple Master Rated skating professional. During weekly sessions, players progressively develop power, edges, stride, and transitions, with focus on technique and building efficiency and knowledge throughout. Improve your skating performance and IQ, and see direct results in your game.
