Development Program
Back by popular demand! Hockey Development Sessions!
Once again we’re providing HOCKEY DEVELOPMENT SESSIONS to supplement the regular game schedule. This program is INCLUDED at the Under 7 level as part of their schedule. The program is also available (at their age level) to Under 9 and Under 11 divisions for a $79 additional fee.
The 3-session program prioritizes skating development (generating power, use of edges, and emphasizing proper form), and includes many features of ‘small area play’. Players will see a lot of continuous movement, many puck touches, and will advance their instinctive reactions. This will not be a ‘hard-driving’ hockey school, but rather a fun and very active session of skill enhancement for beginner to intermediate players. The outcome?…..lots of skill development, an appropriate amount of competition, and LOADS OF FUN!
The sessions are directed by Tim Manastersky and Brianne Jenner. Tim is a former Head Coach at York University, Regional Hockey Canada Coaching co-ordinator, current NCAA regional scout and a Skate Canada coach. Brianne is a current assistant captain with the National/Olympic Women’s team, and a winner of an Olympic Gold and Silver medal. She has competed in over 10 World Junior championships, was an Ivy League MVP, and also operates her own Hockey Academy.
