On ice - Players will start with specialized edge work and then break into training groups that rotate through instructional stations.
Specifically, 20 minutes of each day will be dedicated to backwards skating. Backwards skating leads to better balance and drastically improves players transitions and skating creativity on the ice.
There will be a concentration on functional edge work and application while learning to use specific body mechanics and gravity to leverage speed. The secondary focus will be on stick handling, passing/shooting, puck control and situational game play.
