Skills
*New style hockey is very fast paced and highly skilled, we will NOT be promoting big heavy open ice hitting. It will be skill based by the definition of a body check: "To separate the man from he puck" This is the reason for body checking in a hockey game, not to hurt the other players.
With a cap of four goalies, goalies can expect individualized coaching from a dedicated goalie coach to help them excel.
Game-Play
*Starting in Small area's and expanding into full ice once the players have a better understanding and comfort level.
*All game play has a strict NO North to South hitting in this camp.
Year End Tournament
Learning Objectives:
To gain a complete understanding of why, when & how to use your body effectively to separate your opponent from the puck
Prerequisites:
Players should be currently playing in competitive U13 stream with aspirations of playing full contact hockey the next season
