Explosive Skating is the most valuable and demanding aspect of skating for a hockey player. 

Having dynamic speed and changing the game with your feet is on-demand at every level. Hockey is a game of sprints; players must have the ability to generate power and speed in a short amount of time and space. This will result in impacting the game both offensively and defensively.

In this camp, players work on the technical aspects of explosive speed as well as the athletic tools required. Our camp starts with technical and mechanical training which is the foundation of player's understanding of how to maximize their athletic potential. Once players have a strong mechanical base, we evolve the camp into a high-intensity and dynamic skating development.

 The ice is broken into a circuit training environment, within this training platform players use a variety of training tools such as:

• Parachutes
• Harnesses
• Medicine balls
• Bungee cords

The main goals of this camp are to focus on and improve in the following areas:

• Explosive power
• Change of speed
• Lateral mobility
• Foot speed
• Top-end speed
• Reaction time
• Dynamic acceleration

Each ice session is high-paced, players will be pushed each day to help them get to new levels of speed and power.

DRYLAND TRAINING 

Dryland training sessions will be age-specific which will allow us to push and challenge the players to get faster, quicker, and more explosive. The dryland portion of our program will incorporate bodyweight and partner exercises. The players will work on conditioning, coordination, core strength, and balance in a FUN and challenging environment.
