Introduction to Hockey Skills

Designed for children who have built a solid foundation in skating and are ready to take the next step in their hockey journey, this program focuses on advancing skills and deepening their love for the game.
This group is for players who have demonstrated basic skating proficiency and are prepared to develop more advanced hockey skills. Throughout the season, players will work on key techniques such as stopping in both directions, passing, agility, and edge control.
Sessions combine full-group instruction with station-based training. In the station format, players rotate through focused skill areasâtypically led by two coaches per stationâto ensure maximum individual attention and skill development.
As players progress, and at the Directorâs discretion, they will be placed on teams and introduced to scrimmages within the program and against other organizations. This exciting phase allows players to apply their skills in real game situations while continuing to grow as young hockey athletes.
