Skills Sessions

These skill sessions are centered on individual skill development and immediacy incorporated into game concept drills. Each session is geared to limited skaters to allow for maximum reps and coach tutorials. Each session focuses on skill progression in one two facets off the game that only pushes our players physical abilities but also mentally. 

Each Friday during the booster club season the JBL offers 6 AM low impact skates designed around an ODR concept with only a helmet, skates, gloves & stick. Players worked on learning new skills and applying them to game type concepts in preparation for the weekend games. It’s still debatable if the players came for the hockey or free donuts.

Let's get ready for tryouts!! After an off season of skill development, it's time to fine tune and appl them into the game. We will continue progressing with skill development during our preseason skates, but a majority of our sessions will focus on small area games with at least one full ice scrimmage each week. Coachability is always a factor for our players so we will have USA Hockey registered coaches on the bench to enhance their full ice development as well as continue refining your players ability to take direction and apply it in game time scenarios.

There is no such thing as too much ice for this age group. Our termite and mite sessions started as an opportunity for our youngest skaters to not only get some extra ice time but learn to love the game. Our biggest goal with this age group is for them to have success each time they step on the ice. We have found a great amount of success with bringing squirt level players on the ice with this group to serve as demonstrates, mentors, and buddies during the sessions. If a kid grows to love the sport the development will follow and making this a challenging but fun experience for your players is our ultimate goal.
