ProgramsHockey Skating Skating instruction is the foundation of all Townshend Hockey Training programs. The amount of skating instruction will be dependent on the camp location and the level of the skaters who are attending each of the camps, but overall, our focus will be on teaching the proper hockey skating (not Power Skating) technique. Rather than small incremental steps, my skating program is designed to exponentially improve the performance of the athlete. I have broken down every element involved in the skill of skating into each of the individual components. This approach allows me to accurately identify players’ weaknesses, then I can then attack those weaknesses and eventually eliminate them through constant repetition, reinforcement and attention to the smallest details. Checking One of the reasons I have included checking instruction into my curriculum is because over the years, every program I have witnessed has simply sent kids out to hurt each other without teaching them how to properly execute the most dangerous tactic in the game. We teach the proper way to check and we teach the true definition of checking (it’s not what most players think it is). Every aspect of checking is broken down into teaching modules that accelerate the learning and confidence of all of our students. These important checking skills have to be broken down properly to ensure the effectiveness and safety of our young athletes. Boarding CampsHockey Skating and Scoring Skills Camp The two most important skills in the game! This program combines my unique Hockey Skating program with scoring tactics and 15 scoring techniques and tactics used by today's best NHLer's. These tactics were discovered through hours of research using the most up-to-date video analysis software only used by 5 NHL teams! Learn the tight jam, the figure 8, and much more. I have also added my one and only "Power Play concept's training program". Ever wonder why some players make the PP and some don't? Well there are very specific skills NHL coaches want to see, for example "quick decisive puck movement, the ability to know when and how to attack seems. All this and more will be addressed. No other camp in North America offers a Power Play skills program. The key concepts taught will include cut backs, acceleration, advanced edgework and over-speed training. Scoring skills covered include; tip-ins, shooting in stride, one timers, rebounds and more. Additionally, our innovative puck handling circuit is unmatched by any other school in the country. We will also introduce our camp attendees to our incredible Variable Goals Training (VGT) curriculum, we’ve been getting such great reviews from parents, coaches and players, that we just pumped it up with new drills and skills!
With over 60% of all goals being scored off of transitional hockey, I thought why don’t more schools teach transitional conversion and defense? With that in mind, I decided to do it myself and offer the only camp of its kind. In this camp, you will learn how to identify trouble before it happens and how to convert turnovers into goals. As with all Townshend Hockey programs, we also include our own Hockey Skating and checking program. I can assure you that your child has never been exposed to a program that is this comprehensive and dynamic before. As with all of our programs, all of the skills are broken down into teaching modules that accelerate the learning and confidence of all of our students. Hockey Skating and Defensemen Camp While some camps make the claim, Townshend Hockey's is truly the ultimate defensemen’s camp! This camp was designed for defensemen by defensemen. As the man responsible for the skating development of all of our defensemen in San Jose I can assure you that this program is not taught anywhere as I was the one who designed it. As a Division I College defenseman, I went from producing 6 points my Sophomore year to 20 points my Junior year. This camp will teach your child how I was able to make such a large gain in points scored over the course of one year. Matt Libby, camp co-director, brings to the table years of experience as a Division I defenseman at Providence and then onto the Washington Capitals organization. Matt is the smartest and most proficient coach I have ever met and he has a great rapport with the kids as well. When Matt speaks they listen. Hockey Skating and Acceleration Camp This camp is all about speed, speed and more speed! This camp features my signature Hockey Skating program at high speeds. It is HIGHLY recommended that you attend one of my other Hockey Skating Programs in the past before attempting my Acceleration Program. Every skill is done at top speed with the use of the latest training methods used in the NHL. Ramp up your game by attending this program. Goalies: Our goalie program has been developed by individuals such as Cap Raeder and Tony Marinto -- the guys who have produced such NHL stars as Mikko Kiprusoff, Evgeni Nabokov, Vesa Toskela and many more. We try to include them in all of our goalie clinics, but when Cap and Tony are not present, we will ensure that other nationally recognized experts are present to run the goalie camp. Please call or email us for a roster and credential list of our instructors.
