The 1-hour sessions will be structured into three phases for skaters, plus a goalie station:

0-20 min Station 1/2
21-40 min Station 2/1
41-50 min Small Area Game (SAG)

Station 1 - Advanced skating with Stephanie McCullough/Devin Campbell - athletes will develop more efficient inside and outside edges which will allow them to develop more power in their movement. Tactical skating will be introduced to help athletes perform at a faster rate in practice to game transfer scenarios like change of direction, escape pressure, build speed on transition, win small space areas to puck, 1v1 battles.

Station 2 - Advanced skills of puck control, shooting (in stride), checking (wall work) and passing.

Small Area Games: Will be based on the specific technical skills and tactics that athletes worked on during the first 40 min of practice.

Goalie Clinic: Goalie specific instruction with goalie coach

Cost

$45 per player
