OFF ICE SHOOTING AND SCORING TRAINING
Fridays April 4 – Jun 27, 2025
We will focus on the technique of the different shots and be sure to touch on wrist, snap, slap and backhand shots during the program. We will also work on different scoring scenarios, shooting from angles, through and around obstacles and shooting in motion as some examples.
Sessions will be led by our Director of Hockey, Matt Hughes along with other guest instructors at each session.
This is a great opportunity for players to work on their shot in a pressure free environment and ask for tips on anything they want to work on.
