Clinic Programs (2-3 day program with 6-10 hrs of ice)

Hockey Skating

Skating instruction is the foundation of all Townshend Hockey 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 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.

 

 

Day Camp Program Description

Hockey Skating and Transition Camp

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.
