What We Stand For!
Fundamental hockey skills such as skating/shooting/stickhandling and passing have always been the cornerstone to complete hockey development. Yet so many players fail to develop these skills to their full potential. With such an emphasis on skating in resent years, many of the other Core skills have been forgotten.
Players need to develop base level skills and perfect them before advancing to more complex skills. If they don't the end result is marginal skill development in multiple areas rather than properly developing and maximizing each skill. Learning how to shoot properly is difficult if you can't receive a pass. The pass will not occur if you can not handle a puck.
Core hockey programs are based on the fundamental belief that a player's success is derived from a well planned, properly delivered progression. Our training programs build on the Core fundamentals and over time maximize each skill set, rather then rushing development and marginalizing each skill set. All this will be done in small group training, with 6 to 9 kids per group. Increasing proper repetitions will increase improvement!
Core Hockey Philosophy
Core Fundamentals - Focusing in on the Core skill fundamentals required for hockey - shooting, puckhandling and passing are the key elements in improving your game. With our teaching techniques and progression the players will improve.
Core Integration - To be your best you must be able to integrate each individual skill with the other to work together. Core hockey programs are designed to teach and develop each individual skill and in turn integrate them. Puckhandling while skating, shooting while skating, and passing while skating as an example.
Core Repetition - The best way to improve an skill is to learn the fundamental basics and then develop the skill further through practice and repetition. It is vital the player takes what we have taught him and spends 10 to 15 minutes practicing these Core skills three to four time per week. Either at practice, school or at home.
Core Specific - What one athlete may need to improve on may differ from another. At Core Hockey we understand this and do our best to develop our programs to the age and skill specific needs of each player.
Core Translation - Individual skill development is essential, but it is equally important to understand how these translate into game situations. Depending on the type of length of camp our goal is to implement the Core skills into game like situations. We will do this using small group training and small area games.
