Skills Clinics
We teach specific hockey skills for your skater's improvement. Skills development is critical for each player to improve their fundamentals. We teach the skill, and our skaters practice drills that apply to game-like situations.
We review each technique as a group, then divide into four smaller groups to practice each skill. One-on-One instruction is a focus throughout each portion.
Our four on-ice instructors take great pride in teaching techniques to each individual skater. We take a personal interest in each student's development.
All clinics will accept a maximum of 32 skaters with 4 Instructors. If we do have more than 32, we will have additional instructors on-ice.
Please Find the Strong Hockey Skills Clinics Agenda for 2022-23 below:
"Coach
Every year, you and the team you assemble demonstrate the love for the game, and every year, my kids fall more in love with hockey, the experiences, and the people they meet. Thank you for being a positive piece of the hockey community!"
JoBeth
"Jim,
Landon started practice today. His improvement in skating and stick handling is dramatic. Your camp was terrific for him!"
Kent
"Thanks for another great clinic. It's always a pleasure to watch a young man who has not played hockey all that long work hard and develop under your coaching, as well as learn to take the constructive criticism! Please thank your coaches for us as well."
