Weekly Themes

Week 1 - Explosive Skating

This week focuses on developing power and speed through proper biomechanics. Athletes will work on generating force to improve both straight-line speed and quickness in small spaces, laying the foundation for more explosive skating in all areas of the game.

Week 2 - Deceptive & Evasive Skating

We’ll focus on helping athletes create time and space by using edge control, body fakes, and quick changes of direction. The goal is to improve confidence in skating with the puck and finding creative ways to beat defenders.

Week 3 - Shooting & Puck Skills

This week covers the foundations of shooting and puck handling, including different shot types, quick releases, aiming techniques, and basic goal-scoring concepts. Athletes will also work on skills that help them shoot and pass with more accuracy and power.

Week 4 - Battle & Compete

Athletes will work on puck protection, using their body and stick to gain or maintain possession, and stick-checking techniques. The focus is on building confidence in high-pressure situations like puck battles and learning how to stay strong on the puck.

Week 5 - Passing, Pace & Game Situations

This week will focus on passing techniques such as area passes, saucer passes, and indirect passes, as well as receiving passes cleanly. Athletes will also work on playing at a higher pace and applying these skills in game-like scenarios, such as zone entries and odd-man rushes.

Week 6 - Game Play & Decision Making

Athletes will learn how to read the game and make better decisions in both offensive and defensive situations. This week will focus on understanding when and where to apply different skills to increase success rates in various game scenarios.
