Coach Development is perhaps the most under-valued opportunity in sport associations and yet clearly the most valuable. Workshops are typically 2.5-3 hours in length and will provide your coaches with a solution based and hands on experience for your membership. We are portable and deliver all programming in your local community facility.

Building a Championship Team Culture

Establishing a relentlessly positive, safe and engaging environment is critical to team and organization success. How do you do it? What are practical ideas coaches can utilize to develop this culture? We will provide a roadmap for your coaches during this presentation.

Bench Management & Creating Team Strategy

“Learning to see” is a challenging proposition for coaches. If coaches struggle to see why things are occurring then how can they be effective in communicating valuable information to their players? In this presentation, we identify the most common challenges team’s struggle within games and provide strategies which will help coaches effectively manage the bench during games. We also assist coaches in building a vocabulary, establishing a game plan and executing tactics and team play concepts. A game observation occurs as part of this workshop.

These clinics/meetings assist associations in executing an effective and relevant program.

Player Evaluation & Team Selection

This workshop is designed to assist associations in amending their game plan for successful player evaluations. If you require assistance with curriculum, program design, parental handouts or executing the sessions, we can help.

In this clinic we focus on attack and defend principles, gap control and timing as well as small area execution of puck protection and body contact in the challenging areas of the ice.

Shooting and Scoring

Learning to score and attack with precision is a lifelong journey for players. In this clinic we provide players with a background on shooting technique, deking and scoring.
