This program is based on FUN as the most important ingredient and about 75% is fun-games.

Micro Ice Skills and Skating: This program is a combination of both high-end edge-work and puck-skills, shooting. While keeping the coach:student ratio low we also have managed to build a curriculum that will guarantee improvement.

Spring Fever/Small Games:   The spring is a time to test the skills you have never attempted while enjoying the sport of hockey. There are no coaches that will sit you after a mistake, but rather instructors who will guide you in the direction of your ultimate objectives. There is no need to be afraid to try something different, to step outside the box, to put forth your best effort to hurdle over a fresh challenge. During these small game sessions, players will be pushed from their comfort zones in order to gain the greatest results during their springtime play.

Shooting and Scoring: This is a class where you learn not only how to shoot and proper technique, but you also learn how to score, what to think about when shooting and what to notice in a goalie.

Balance Edges, Speed and Acceleration: For all levels. Learn how to maximize the most power from each stride. Speed and power are developed through balance and edge utilization.
