2025 SIHA PROGRAM (including 15 hours of on-ice instruction/week)
POWER SKATING – Offering 1.5 hours of daily Power Skating, emphasizing Forward Stride, Tight Turns, Backwards Skating & Stops & Starts. We run our program at a fast pace with high repetitions (no standing around). We feel that our techniques really enhance the student’s posture, balance and agility. “The basis & foundation for a solid hockey player”
PUCKHANDLING – Offering 1.5 hours of daily stickhandling techniques, emphasizing Passing, Shooting, 1 on 1’s, 2 on 1’s, 2 on 2’s and Intro. To Checking (light bumping). Our constantly moving ice maximization drills quickly improves each student’s ability to combine skating speed with puck movement in unison. “The key to scoring success”
GOALTENDING INSTRUCTION – Offering 1.5 hours of daily goaltending instruction, emphasizing Stance, Angles, Movement, The Pad Save, The Glove Save & The Break-Away Save. All of our goalies will work one on one with our Goalie Instructor each morning, with a specialized goalie program with experienced shooters to further develop each goaltender’s technique and style. All goalies will also receive an additional 1.5 hours of daily afternoon ice, to receive shots from players in practice/game situations to enhance their pressure saves “Preparing each goalie to be the team’s backbone”
PERSONALIZED VIDEO ANALYSIS PROGRAM – Offering daily individualized computerized digital video analysis to all students, 1 on 1 with our expert staff. We will fully analyze each student’s skills (Players & Goalies) in a different daily drill, reinforcing their positive techniques and quickly correcting the areas of improvement. Through the use of Pro Split Screens, “Cut-Out Comparisons”, Spot Light Isolation and our telestrator and audio instruction, we feel that every aspect of our student’s skills will be thoroughly analyzed – all recorded to a Flash Drive ($20.00 choice). “Our best guarantee for a quality hockey education”
OFF-ICE SHOOTING: We will be offering “Real Time” video analysis to all students on a daily basis during our off-ice shooting sessions, through the use of our I-Pad Mini device. We will film each student’s shooting technique and analyze it with the student immediately to quickly correct any deficiencies. All students will take at least 50 shots per day (different shot each day).
