Skating that Translates

Instructor: Ben Payne

Ben Payne and PH Development provide a unique service that focuses on skating movements and patterns that are utilized 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 practice 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

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 dependent 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.

POWER EDGE PRO

Power Edge Pro is an on-ice player development system utilizing proprietary equipment and training patterns, widely popular amongst the pros such as Connor McDavid and Connor Bedard. The system focuses on Reactive Countering Training™, engaging multiple motor skills simultaneously to develop a player’s small area game performance and deceptive movements. All patterns are completed while maintaining puck control and are designed to provide 5x as many repetitions as standard drill-based practices, leading to faster development of elite skills. As one of the only PEP certified places in the lower mainland, our coaches are all certified to get the maximum amount of development out of this level of training.  Full hockey equipment is required.

Puck Skills
With today’s game being focused on speed, not only do players need to have a quick shot, but being deceptive will take their game to the next level. In this program we will be focusing on being deceptive when it comes to (A) stick handling; how to hide our shot and (B) shooting; making other players think you are doing something different. We will focus on body language techniques, evasive movements pertaining to shooting, and stick handling techniques to get goalies to drop. And much, much more.

SKATING THAT TRANSLATES

SKATING THAT TRANSLATES®

Ben Payne’s SKTT program focuses on game specific power skating and edge work At Skating That Translates® players will not only learn “HOW” to effectively Skate but the importance of the “WHY” and “WHERE” The game of hockey is predicated on recurring movement patterns. The more times players are put in game-like environments in practice and development sessions, the higher probability to execute when they encounter these situations come game time. For example, from attacking the defense and defending oncoming players , to Agility and mobility to create space and separation in small areas on both the defensive and offensive side of the puck all require technical and tactical ability.  The Skating That Translates® System is complete with 3 phases. “Skill to GAME”

The phases are subjective to the player’s age and level.

Skating That Translates develops the entire skill set of a player and builds layers on top of the foundation of skating. If you cannot skate you cannot handle the puck, pass or shoot efficiently. Therefore you will not be effective in an individual tactical and team setting. Skating That Translates® takes power skating and “Edgework” a step further in a full comprehensive program   Ben Payne and SKTT teach the “HOW” & “WHY” in skating and skill development to build and develop your son or daughter as a complete player.

Age and skill level is subjective to the above.

Full hockey equipment is required.

Coach: Ben Payne

Learning Outcomes:

SKATING FUNDAMENTALS – Themed Edge Work and Power Skating

PUCK SKILL FUNDAMENTALS – Puck control, stick hand and puck placement, & passing

Open Hockey

Open Hockey is one of the greatest features of being a member at NSWC.  In Vancouver, we aren’t given the opportunity to play pickup pond hockey very often or have empty arenas where kids can just step on the ice in the old barn when the rink guy gives us a spare key but at NSWC we have the next best thing, Open Hockey. 

Open Hockey is our member’s opportunity to play, practice and enjoy hockey in a non-structured capacity.  We have the skills ice, fondly referred to as ‘The Tube’, which is almost always open, or a random sheet of ice that happens to be free, Open Hockey allows members the chance to skate, shoot and play without coaches or teams organizing the session.  Whether a player just wants a few more reps for 5 minutes after practice, or wants to shoot pucks for an hour instead of watching their siblings ice times, Open Hockey gives them an opportunity that doesn’t exist in a traditional Minor Hockey organization.

Every participant, regardless of age, must wear a helmet and any player under 18 must be in full hockey gear.
