This clinic supports athletes transitioning into contact hockey by teaching proper checking mechanics, confidence, and awareness in physical situations. Players learn how to give and receive contact safely, angle correctly, manage gap control, win battles, and use body positioning to separate opponents from the puck. Training progresses from technical foundations to realistic game scenarios.

​

Session #1   

During this first session, players will learn all the basic skills of checking: proper checking technique, body and stick positioning, how to give/take a hit, how to take a hit along the wall, heads-up plays and awareness of danger zones on the ice.  

 

Session #2    

Building off skills learned in session #1, players will learn how to properly separate players from the puck and how to capitalize on their body positioning to win 1 on 1 battles.  Players will be introduced to angling techniques as well as learning to drive the net with puck protection to create more scoring chances. 

 

Session #3   

During the final session, we put everything together.  Players will participate in a number of game-like situations to incorporate techniques learned. These drills will help players transition from a practice to game scenarios and start getting them thinking and getting comfortable using  skills learned in the first 2 sessions.
