Foundational Skills
Typical age of 8u-10uFoundational Skills is the first step in the process of becoming an Elite hockey player. After passing out of our Learn to Play program, players will learn specialized skills for their hockey development. These skills will be broken into 5 groups focusing on skating, puck control, passing and receiving, shooting, and body contact.
The Tuesday session will consist of an hour long camp-style practice, where players will receive individual instruction and feedback. Goalies will also receive individual instruction from a current IUP D1 ACHA goalie.
Skills:
Skating- ABC's of skating, Backward stops, Backward crossovers
Puck Control- Diagonal stickhandling, Acceleration with puck (one-hand carry), Attacking the defensive triangle
Passing & Receiving- Backhand passing and the concept of indirect passing
Shooting- Rebound shooting, Backhand shot, "Flip" shot
Contact- Gap Control, Angling, Poke check
Grading Criteria:
The following skills will be evaluated on a 100 point scale, which the participant must pass 75% before moving up to Select Skills. These will be included in the skills that are practiced and developed each week. We think that these skills are the most important in the development process.
