Purpose:

Players will learn to attack and challenge the defensive player by using their strong skating techniques to gain good ice. New body contact concepts will help to gain puck possession in both the offensive and defensive zones. This will create more offensive opportunities by keeping plays alive and wearing down the defensive player. Strong board work will help players exit the defensive zone quickly. The new generation of hockey is focused on puck protection and possession.  Fundamental core skating and some new techniques to create time and space will be taught. Small area one on one competitions and games will be used to master the skills.  

Checking Principles:

• First to touch

• Jab Step, 10-2, single foot push

• Line of defense

• Getting off the wall

• Win the lane

• High board contact
