Kellian Hockey Summer ACADEMY

The Kellian Summer Academy

Welcome to the Kellian Academy, where young athletes embark on a transformative journey to hone their hockey skills and elevate their game to new heights. This innovative program is not just about perfecting techniques but about understanding the intricacies of the game.

 

The Skating School at Kellian Hockey

Arguably, skating is the most important skill a player must possess.  From explosive starts, to efficient strides and technical, evasive maneuvers, we will be diving into it all.  The course is 9 weeks long and offered to players aged 10yrs and up.   Each week, we will build on fundamental techniques by improving balance and refining higher technical skills with repetition and a focus on efficiency rather than on power.  As a player ages and gets stronger, the layering of strength needs to built on top of a strong sense of balance.  A player can be very strong, but can also be an very inefficient skater.  Balance and efficiency comes first.  Classes will be 50 minutes long, on Sundays from 9:30am - 10:20am at the Stowe Arena.

 

The Puck Handler Clinic at Kellian Hockey

Puck Handling comes in many forms.  We typically think about it as "Dangling" and fakes.  Although those skills are need to be developped, we also focus on other important topics; Making and Receiving passes, puck protection, shot prep and the reduction of the release time, evasive maneuvers and also simply skating with the puck at the highest possible speed.  At the Puck Handler Summer Clinic, we will focus on the fundamentals of puck handling as seen in all of the above topics offering tips and tricks, and exercise kids can do at some off-ice or with roller blades.

 

Note:

The skating school schedule is set up to take place just before the Puck Handler session so that a player can participate in both programs. To get the best and most thorough summer training regimen, a player can sign up for both the Skating School spot and Puck Handler spot at a reduced rate.
