Okanagan Hockey School

Satellite Camp- 
Team Specific Training Programs

In addition to our regular Satellite Hockey Camps, Okanagan Hockey School is pleased to announce our new team and coaches training programs to better suit your associations hockey development needs.

In this format OHS will send three qualified professional coaches including one goalie coach to work with individual teams and coaches on a per practice basis to assist in the team component of hockey development.

The Objective: To provide your associations coaches with customized practise sessions for their team's specific needs. Our professional staff will identify problem areas and will custom design practises, which will attack and correct these weaknesses.
Specific instruction in the area of team play and strategy will help give each player a better understanding of their role on the ice. Players will learn breakout patterns, offensive attack and fore-checking as well as defensive and neutral zone positioning.
Emphasis will be placed on the role of defenseman, forward, and goaltender in Team Play Development. Your players will learn the importance of team skills such as desire, pride, trust, motivation and working hard to achieve a common goal—skills that will benefit players throughout their adulthood.

The Format:
Two of our Professional Okanagan Hockey School instructors plus one goalie instructor will work with your individual teams.

· We feel a five-day format (Thursday - Tuesday) will work best.
· One (1:15 - 1:30) high level, high intensity practice per day per team.
· Two - three team oriented seminars including video analysis per age level.
· We will travel with the individual teams if on the road during our visit or view home games if applicable and videotape them.

This is a recommended format only and can be altered based on ice times and availability.

Topics: We can address such topics as offensive zone set up, power plays, penalty-killing options, neutral zone play, regroups, defensive zone positioning, breakouts, team speed as well as team building can all be themes covered during our visit.

Association Responsibilities: Schedule practices so that we can go on the ice with each of the teams consecutively if possible.

Having game tapes of the teams in question would be valuable in advance of our visit so we can break them down and develop a strategy to deal with individual team weaknesses and technical problems.
