BOYS & GIRLS SKILL DEVELOPMENT

Squirts, Peewee, Bantam, High School

 

ON-ICE:

Players are separated by ability into small groups.  Model is 45 minutes of stations with a focus on core skill instruction, repetition, and small area games.  Final 15 minutes we focus on scrimmage, 2-on-2 and/or 3-on-3 scenarios.  Skill stations focus on: 

  • CONTACT AND CHECKING AT ALL LEVELS
  • Puck Control
  • Passing
  • Decision Making
  • Speed

DRYLAND:

Players are separated into small group stations.  Model is 60 minutes including a small warmup. Topics include:  

  • FootworkYoga and Stretching
  • Recovery
  • Shooting Techniques
  • Passing Techniques
  • Stick Handling

+CLASSROOM:

Athletes get 45 minutes of classroom to work on their InFocus Mindset with Coach Mike. This model has been new and exciting. Topics include:

  • Handeling Pressure
  • Champions Mindset
  • Handeling Success and Failure

HOW IT WORKS:  

Coach Mike working with over 600+ kids a year (last 11 years) he has noticed that most of the skaters handle pressure different than just going through the la-la-la of a typical camp or practice.  We talk and communicate these skills as well as making the perfect pass or having the accuracies in shooting.

 A few examples are as follows.

  • Pressure (Tryouts, practice, peers) Pressure from Parents? Coaches? Grandma?
  • Pre practice/pre-game routines. Position changes. Line chemistry
  • I didn’t make my team, now what? I did make the team, now what?
  • Breaking down my performance, what is my potential?
  • Not sure I like a teammate/coach
  • Pressures of winning or losing. Discipline. Motivations. Purpose
  • Locker room. Bus rides. Car pooling——conversations
  • The Parents - Coach Mike will send out an assessment of groups and newsletters every three weeks this summer.  He will send out certain skills you all should be asking about or seeing in the driveway this summer!
