WHAT MAKES OUR AAA PROGRAM SUCCESSFUL

Full-Time Coaching Staff with the experience and expertise in player development making sure the players receive proper instruction, consistent feedback, and the motivation necessary for optimal training.  Our AAA coaching staff will include: Scott Meyer, Pete Talafous, Dean Talafous, Shane Wagner, and many more.

On-Ice Development – The On-Ice training focus will be on skills, small games, and situational drills. We want our teams to play with skill and a passion for the game.  Practices will be up-tempo with skating and puck handling drills. We take these skills and incorporate them into game- like situations; where they will learn to react quicker, play smarter and develop a competitive edge. We encourage and push players to make plays on the ice and do things they don’t or are not allowed to do during the season.  SKILLS – SITUATIONS – TEAM PLAY

On-Ice Small Games – In an effort to enhance quick decision making and playmaking ability in small areas, all of our AAA teams practice small area games. Players will immerse themselves into the action using their hockey instincts which will improve through trial and error and by receiving positive feedback from our coaches.

Off-Ice Training – Players will benefit from our renown Development System.  Players will improve all their hockey skills becoming a more confident player on the ice. All players will receive their own Scan Card which gives the player immediate feedback as well as performance tracking throughout the program.
