Select Skills

Typical age of 10u-12u-14u

Select Skills is the most important part in the process of becoming an Elite hockey player. After completing Foundational Skills, players will challenge themselves by learning more advanced skills, while perfecting familiar skills learned in Foundational Skills. These skills will help the player become more advanced and progress through their development.

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.
