Stickhangling Camp Structure
Learn to apply skills + Hockey IQ
Camp Structure: Progressive Skill Development in 2 Phases
The camp offers a structured two-hour daily regimen that progresses from basic techniques to complex game scenarios, enhancing player confidence and Hockey IQ. The first hour focuses on refining skills, while the second hour involves mini-games and drills where players apply what they’ve learned under game-like pressure.
Forming the Complete Skill Set:
First Hour
Master Stickhandling Through Total Skill Integration
Four Zone Stickhandling System
Each day, the ice is divided into four zones, where players work in small groups. Each zone is dedicated to a specific aspect of stickhandling, allowing for targeted practice that sharpens specific abilities.
Second Hour:
Developing Skills Under Pressure
Aligns skill development close with game performance
The second hour is all about applying what players learned — under pressure, in motion, and in game-like situations. Through small-area games, reaction-based drills, and decision-making challenges, players are pushed to execute skills at speed and with intent. This phase builds confidence, timing, and the ability to perform under real-game stress.
