Total Skills Clinic

The Ice Works “Total” skills program is a newly designed program for the player that wants to continue developing their hockey skills. The “Total” skill session will be limited to just 16 players for ages 12-15 and 21 players for ages 8-11. This 4-week skill session will be broken down into three sections, using the Ice Works “4S” on ice curriculum; skating, stickhandling, shooting and situational play! The first section of every skill session will focus on power skating, developing a more powerful and explosive stride is essential in the development of any great hockey player. Players will become stronger and more fluent forward and backwards skaters during this training. The second section will focus on mastering stickhandling maneuvers, teaching the players the proper wrist movements, and hand extension while stick-handling with their heads up! Players will also work on puck protection, various deke moves as well as their passing and receiving skills. Training devices such as the “Speed Deke Trainer”, “Attack Triangles”, “Extreme Dangler Pro” and the “Give-n-Go” passer will be used to challenge the players during this period. The last section will focus solely on developing a more powerful and accurate hockey shot! The Ice Works coaching staff will focus on a player’s weight transformation, hand placement, shoulder alignment and puck protection during this period. All four shots will be addressed (wrist, snap, slap and backhand) during the 4-week training session.
