Hello Players and Parents, 

We are very excited to continue to offer online sessions for players to continue to work on specific areas of their game.

This next week’s sessions are aimed at keeping players progressing through a combination of shooting, cardio, and stickhandling sessions.  The dryland session focused on Strength for Skating will be run by AJ Zeglen of Focus Fitness and will help players push their cardio through an intense off ice training session.  The skill based sessions will be lead by our JHD coaching staff to ensure players are getting repetition as well as instruction from the multiple coaches on the call (one leading and other coaches sending private instruction through the chat feature). 

Session 1 (June 8 - 5:00-6:00 pm) – SHOOTING SESSION – WORKING ON WRIST AND SNAP SHOTS

This session will give players areas to focus on while shooting pucks at home.  Building on concepts we have done through stickhandling from puck placement, quick hands, and loading the puck, now players will work on the release of their shot.  Players will need a place to shoot, and we recommend that players have 20-25 pucks to get the repetition needed.  We will recommend to the players that the distance they shoot from will be roughly the distance from the hashmark to the net.

*This is a physical session where players will be able to work on their shot.

Session 2 (JUNE 2 - 5:00-6:00 pm) – DRYLAND TRAINING SESSION – CARDIO FOR CONDITIONING

Hockey is a game of repetitive high intensity intervals. In order to play at a high level over the course of a complete game it is important that both energy systems, aerobic and anaerobic are developed.  This can be done off ice by performing conditioning drills and exercises with high intensity for varied intervals with progressions being made to work and rest times.  

*This is an off-ice workout aimed at helping players focus on their off-ice conditioning.

Session 3 (JUNE 3 - 5:00-6:00 pm) – STICKHANDLING SESSION – HOMEWORK FOR YOUR HANDS

This session will work through patterns and drills that can help players continually improve their stickhandling and build confidence with the puck.  As players get the hang of the pattern, they can then focus on adding speed to the movement. This session will give players an extensive list of drills to focus on while they are practicing on their own without the help of a coach.

*This is a physical stickhandling session and players will need a space to stickhandle with gloves and stick and a ball.

An email will be sent out each day of the call with a separate ZOOM link for each day.  The link will also be emailed out 30 min prior to each call as a second email.
