The Hockey curriculum is designed to teach the fundamentals of hockey skating. In four badge levels, skaters will learn how to be more proficient and agile on the ice. Proper skating techniques for the game of hockey are the primary focus of all levels. All elements will be taught without a puck before transition to more dynamic skills with pucks. Skaters will learn the basic hockey stance, stride, knee bend, use of edges and other necessary fundamentals to be successful in hockey practices and game situations.
With our new half ice boards our athletes are able to participate in half ice games of hockey! Half ice games of hockey are ideal for smaller games and challenging players in tight spaces to make quick decisions and quick movements.
