When players move from non-hitting to hitting hockey the game changes in many ways. Checking can either make a player more effective or less effective. Checking is a skill. Players who understand how to use their bodies and protect the puck will be more effective players then players who do not.
The purpose of this camp is to teach players how to use checking to make themselves better players– correct checking technique, how to give and take a hit, learn how to properly protect the puck and use their body to create scoring chances or separate the opposition from the puck.
Players will be split into small groups to ensure they are getting lots of 1 on 1 attention and repetitions in all drills. Groups will be made based on player’s age and level of play to ensure players will be competing against someone of their own caliber.

Session #2
Using skills learned in session #1, players will learn how to properly separate the man from the puck and how to use their body to protect the puck from an opposing player. Players will be introduced to angling techniques as well as learn to drive the net using their bodies/strength/speed to create more scoring chances for themselves. Small area games will also be used to help players integrate the skills from drills into game settings.
