Elite Summer Training 2012-10

These summer skills skates—running June-August—are for elite players looking for specific, hands-on skill development rather than reps and simple time on ice. Some of these skills include:

• Zone entries and odd man rushes

• Shot mechanics and skills (changing angle, redirects, quick releases, tipping)

• Stick on puck/ body contact/ angling and attacking

• Deception in attacking and possession

• Executing net drives/ odd angle attacks/ breakaways

• Creating and isolating 2v1s across ice

The numbers are limited to keep the player-coach interaction heavy, and to keep the focus, intensity, and tempo of the skates. The main goal is to give players the opportunity to work on individual or special skills that they otherwise are not getting in additional skates or team practices.

The total cost for the summer is $750. A deposit is due at sign up ($350). The remainder of cost ($400) is due May 13th. If a player is unable to attend one of the skates, they can find another compatible player to fill their spot (player must be approved by Coach Althen to fill a spot).

We look forward to providing an opportunity for elite players to have a strong group of other players to train hard, work on their skills, and push each other to move into next season prepared to excel!

All skates (20 total) are at Chiller Ice Works from 7:30-8:20pm every Monday and Wednesday from June 3rd-August 14th. We will be off the full week of July 4th.
