Home Training Videos 

Training at home and alone can be tough at times, but off-ice training is a huge component if your hockey player really wants to excel in their game. Below are some basic drills you can do at home to keep your game strong

Skill of the Week:

Stickhandling Dribble

Use a wooden ball because it will move faster than a puck moves on ice – a key to developing the soft hands that every player wants.

• Gently tapping the ball back and forth
• Head up/Eyes up
• Squat position
• Top hand wrist is doing most of the work
• Light pressure on the bottom hand (mostly there for support)  
• Work in front of your body and to sides

Please wear your hockey gloves
