Our winter programs begin in January and run once a week for 10 consecutive weeks. Most of our programs are 1-hour sessions and are either based out of Burnaby Winter Club, Planet Ice Coquitlam, Scotia Barn, or Abbotsford. We also organize a Christmas Break 3 on 3. Registration opens in early November. We run skill-specific programs, including Power Skating; Dekes & Dangles; Checking & Battle; and Defence Clinics. These are great development sessions that complement your in-season team training. We offer a few different times for each program to help work around your minor hockey schedule.
Space is limited and these programs will fill fast. If the program you would like is full, please email us to be added to the waitlist. We are adding new programs regularly.
Registration is now open.
During our Battle & Compete Clinic, players will be working through situations that are transferable to game play. Each ice time, players will engage in drills that force them to be adaptive in their thought process from both sides of the puck. Body, stick, and puck placement play a critical role in forced outcomes of game situations. This clinic is suitable for all player positions and is recommended for those looking to understand the offensive and defensive perspective in a multitude of game situations.
The Dekes & Dangles and Power Skating Camp will see the participants split into two groups with 30 minutes dedicated to each skill set. For the Power Skating, coaches will be focusing on stride efficiencies, maximizing speed retention through transitions, and upper body placement. During the Dekes & Dangles portion, players are challenged to execute lateral moves, change of speed, creativity, and to develop greater confidence with the puck on their hockey stick. This camp is going to help players create more offensive plays and benefit players in games by having the puck on their stick around the net more often. We will spend a great deal of time teaching skills such as skating at full speed with the puck, attacking defenders, and understanding how to evade a check, protect the puck, or execute moves.
Our Defence Clinic will focus on specific skill work catering to defensive players. The clinic will cover power skating, positional play, puck control, shooting, and checking and compete drills.
Winter Jr Steelers. Get ready!
The Power Skating Clinic offers an opportunity for the minor hockey player to improve their skating skills on a weekly basis. Through correction and repetition, this program provides comprehensive instruction on all aspects of skating. From basic skating posture and stride efficiency to lateral quickness and acceleration, this clinic will address all techniques that are required to play the game of hockey.
The Prospects program was started out of a need for great development for female hockey at an affordable price. In using the same level of coaching that we have with our Jr Steelers spring hockey program, we have transferred that success to the girls’ side. During our 2015 season, our flag ship team of 2002/2003 girls placed 1st in the Pacific Spring Showcase and won almost every game of their season. Now, younger girls have great role models to look up to as they chase their hockey dreams.
Our Prospects Sunday Night Development Skates will help you get into the best shape possible before spring hockey. Learn more about our Prospects programs here.
