About the Camp
The camp is structured to provide serious hockey players with the foundation to move toward higher levels of competition. Each player will be on the ice THREE TIMES DAILY during this intense hockey camp. Each of the three sessions will have a main focus, either on power skating, individual skill development or team tactics. Power skating sessions will help to improve a player's speed and quickness, and proper skating techniques. Skill development sessions will focus on player's passing, shooting and puck handling. Team sessions will teach players the intricacies of the game, and will utilize the techniques developed in the two earlier sessions to improve each player's overall game.
This camp is designed to challenge each individual in a fun and creative way. In addition to the three daily ice sessions, each player will be challenged off the ice. Players will be introduced to strength and conditioning exercises, agility and plyometric training and video analysis. Each player will learn how to use off-ice activities to better her performance. |
