Hockey Survival Skills and Small Ice Games
March 22nd to May 10th
Featuring Nate Handrahan and Marianne Watkins
To succeed and survive in hockey at any level, a player must commit to training on and off the ice, and must continually develop his or her individual conditioning, skating and hockey skills. A player’s body and mind must be ready to perform, react and endure the challenges of one of the most physically and mentally demanding sports in the world.
This training is ongoing from level to level. Each year the need for speed, strength, skills technical efficiency and conditioning becomes more apparent and necessary to compete. The off season is the time to build that foundation and prepare for team tryouts and the upcoming season.
The RMUHockeyAcademy is committed to teaching, demonstrating and guiding you through the disciplines of training and pushing you beyond your comfort zone to reach your full potential. Let us help you take your game to the next level.
