WHYHA has furthered its’ commitment to developing the young athletes that participate in our program by adding additional ice time and resources to focus specifically on individual skills and fundamentals.
We will be drawing on both internal and external resources that have played and/or coached at highly competitive levels including the NHL. As all youth sports, hockey also follows and models the highest professional levels. Today’s game has some of the strongest, fastest and most skilled athletes to ever play the game.
We will be focusing on skills to develop both athleticism and hockey skills. Specifically we will develop skating, shooting, passing, puck control, physical play and situational techniques; i.e. goal scoring, shot blocking, situation shooting and specialty passing as well as quickness, explosiveness and endurance.
Goaltenders will also have specific training focused on footwork, proper techniques, angling/positioning and the mentally challenging aspect of their position.
We will post the specific skills that will be covered on a weekly basis for our 4 weeks of skills and drills (see the tab on the left) and will make every effort to continue additional skill work where scheduling permits.
If you have any question please

Thanks,
Mike Routh
