The Girl’s College Development Program is designed for high caliber players that want to play at the collegiate level! This 6-week training program will consist of three basic sections;
Skill Development
Power Skating
To play at the collegiate level, you must be an exceptional skater. Developing a more powerful and explosive stride is critical in the continuing development of any great hockey player. During this portion of your training, the Ice Works staff will teach, and reinforce proper skating techniques, ensuring that each player develops a stronger foundation. Through the execution of some high-level skating drills, players will improve their quickness, balance, speed and agility making them more fluid and powerful skaters.
Stickhandling
As the speed of the game increases at the collegiate level players need to react quicker than ever. Developing a quick stick is an essential tool in reaching and playing at the collegiate level. During the 6-week Girls College Development Training Program players will be trained under extreme pressure forcing them to react faster and quicker than ever. Players will use devices such as the “Speed Deke Trainer”, “Attack Triangles”, “Extreme Dangler Pro” and the “Give-n-Go” passer to challenge and develop quicker hands. Players will also work on enhancing these skills during our high tempo flow drills and also in confined spaces during our small games portion of the program.
Shooting
What separates some highly skilled hockey players from others, is their ability to take a quick and powerful shot! During every training session at the Girl’s College Development Training Program, players will take a minimum of 50 -100 shots on net. Throughout the entire training program, players will be analyzed on their current shooting form and the Ice Works staff will gradually address the players weaknesses in a progressive, step by step approach that will make it easy for them to master the fundamentals of shooting. Proper weight transformation, hand placement, shoulder alignment and puck positioning are some of the essential components that we will be working on consistently.
High Tempo Full Ice Drills
In preparation for the collegiate level, players need to be ready for elite level drills. During this portion of the training program, players will be forced to think and react quickly while performing multiple tasks simultaneously. All of these action-packed drills are designed to challenge players under extreme conditions. Offensively, players will be pressured to react in milliseconds, their ability to make smart hockey decisions under pressure is the difference between a great collegiate player and an average one. Defensively, knowing how to play the game correctly in the neutral and defensive zone is critical in the evaluation of all hockey players. These intense full ice drills will incorporate defensive aspects of the game – making players engage in all aspects of the game. Many of the high tempo full ice drills used at the Girl’s College Development Training Program are some of Bobby Butler’s favorite drills while playing for the Ottawa Senators, NJ Devils, Florida Panthers and the Nashville Predators.
Competitive Small Area Games
The game of ice hockey has evolved throughout the years, the game is quicker and more mentally challenging than ever. In order to play at the collegiate level, players must have a strong hockey IQ. Through the use of small area games, players will learn to develop a greater sense of vision, anticipation and wherewithal on the ice. These small area games will help players to make smarter hockey decisions during tremendous chaos. Additionally, players will develop better puck handling skills under extreme pressure, improve their skating and their ability to escape opponents in confined spaces. Finally, players will increase their confidence during these mini games to become more impactful during regular season games.

• Fun & exciting atmosphere

Ice Works “Elite Hockey Training” school is clearly the camp for the player that wants to elevate their game to the next level! Their specialized (4S) curriculum assures that every player is developing in all areas of their game. Bobby and Brian’s enthusiastic but demanding training approach guarantee’s the players reach their maximum potential while training at Ice Works. I highly recommend Ice Works “Elite Hockey Training”
As a former professional hockey player and proud parent of three young boys, I had the opportunity to send my oldest son to the Ice Works “Full Throttle” hockey program last year. I was simply blown away! The four-week program was exceptional, I was impressed by the extremely low student to teacher ratio (4:1) and all of the instructor’s attention to details. Brian and Bobby were present all the time and made the camp extremely challenging but fun at the same time. My son is flourishing this year, and I contribute it to the time he spent at Ice Works this past summer…
Attending the camp as a surprised guest for the players, I was blown away by Bobby and Brian’s attention to detail. Ice Works “Elite Hockey Training” is an exceptional program that really focuses on all of four aspects of the game. All of the directors and counselors made sure that each child was worked with individually and pushed outside of their comfort zones!
"As a former NHL player, I strongly endorse Ice Works 'Elite Hockey Training' for the player who wants to evaluate their game and make the improvements to succeed at the next level. Coach Payne's enthusiasm, knowledge and unique coaching approach makes Ice Works an 'Elite' camp!
Being a New England native, I have attended many hockey camps and clinics in the area and if you’re serious about raising your game to the next level then Ice Works “Elite Hockey Training” is the camp for you. The attentiveness of their instructors, their knowledge of the game and their intense training curriculum, combined with their outstanding dryland training program is really what separates Ice Works from the competition.
“Having recruited and coached Bobby at UNH, I am not surprised at the success Bobby has had at the professional level. With Bobby’s passion for the game and his enthusiasm to teach younger players I am confident that he will be successful with his newest hockey venture, Ice Works and “Elite Hockey Training”. I am confident in recommending Bobby to the parents of young youth players with a desire to excel and improve their game.”
Having played with Bobby Butler for the Ottawa Senators, I know what a deadly shot he has personally! If your child wants to learn how to score, then I would highly recommend attending one of Ice Works “Elite” hockey schools or shooting clinics. I have no doubt that this current Pro & former US Olympian will make a huge difference in your child’s shot!
I have attended many camps and clinics as a child and I wished there was an Ice Works “Elite Hockey Training” program in Edmonton, Alberta! I had the ability to work with Bobby at one of his hockey schools recently and was just amazed at the training techniques and equipment that they are providing the kids. The Ice Works mobile training center is simply awesome, skating machines, sideboards, vertical leapers – I wish I had these training tools when I was a younger!
The instructors at Ice Works are extremely passionate, and dedicated to the development of every player. Individuals are challenged on every drill, maximizing their results. Their hockey schools and clinics are challenging, but rewarding! I couldn’t recommend another training program that provides results like Ice Works!
My boys participated in several Ice Works clinics last summer. I can say without a doubt that their skill levels improved tremendously. They were by far readier at the start of their season than most of their teammates, many of whom went to different summer hockey camps and clinics. The combination of high quality off-ice and on-ice training by highly experienced instructors, each one bringing a different skill set and approach that builds upon an aligned overall training strategy sets Ice Works apart from the rest!
Ice Works “Elite Hockey Training” is an exceptional camp for the player that really wants to excel to the next level. Bobby and Brian’s knowledge of the game, passion and desire to improve each player is evident in their positive approach. Bobby and Brian are motivating but demanding of their players – I would strongly recommend Ice Works!
Having coached Bobby for four years at UNH, I know his natural ability to put the puck in the net! If your child wants to learn to score, then there’s no other camp than Ice Works. Bobby’s ability to analyze a player shooting flaws, correct the players shooting mechanics, is an exceptional talent of Bobby’s – I would highly recommend Bobby Butler and the Ice Works “Elite Hockey Training” program!
"Brian and his coaching staff at Ice Works "Elite Hockey Training" have set the bar for all hockey schools. His on-ice curriculum is unlike any others, and there is no comparable dryland training program like Ice Works. His passion, enthusiasm and commitment to every player guarantees individual results.
