Body Contact
Body Contact
Body contact is an inevitable part of hockey, and a vital skill for all hockey players in the game today. For players making the jump from non-contact hockey, the game is played differently than what they are used to. This program will teach players the importance of using their body to not only protect themselves and separate their opponents from the puck, but using their bodies to maintain puck possession and put themselves in good positions to make plays. Keeping ones’ head up, and learning to accept, lean on and spin off opposing players will be focal points of the program. This program will help you learn the techniques needed to protect yourself, and use body contact to your advantage.

Skating that Translates
Skating that Translates
Ben Payne and PH Development provide a unique service that focuses on skating movements and patterns that are utilised in the game today. It’s imperative to find the game connection in our skating and at PH Development sessions. Power Skating and edge work are game specific focusing not only on the “HOW” to effectively Skate but the proverbial “WHY”
The game of hockey is predicated on reoccurring movement patterns. The more times players are put in game like environments in practise and development sessions, the higher probability for a high success rate when they encounter these situations come game time.
Players must be able to identify the game translatable component. These movements not only require a high level of physical skill and technique to execute, but a sense of understanding of the significance behind the movement patterns.
Skating That Translates takes power skating and edgework one step further. Skating Development and Hockey IQ rolled into one program.
Full hockey equipment is required.

Puck Skills
PUCK SKILLS
The puck skills program is meant to develop multiple aspects related to the handling and movement of the puck. This class will provide sequential advancement of ability from the very basics to elite dependant on the players’ current state. With the correct drills the player develops new dexterity in their hands as they are asked to put the puck in new positions of reach, with different areas of the blade, and with new levels of speed. This also increases overall stamina in the muscles used in these hand skills. As the player advances in ability they will be introduced to different situational moves such as 1 on 1 plays off the rush, out of corner, opening up shot lanes etc. Overall the player develops a completely improved feel for the puck as the connection between their hands, stick and puck is dramatically increased.
Full hockey equipment required.
