Body Checking

This 4 week progressive body checking program will teach players how to give and receive a body check properly and how to use angling and puck protection techniques to their advantage. With the use of hitting bags which are attached to the glass, our instructors will not only teach the skill of body checking but implement game like scenarios for players to understand why exactly body checking is important. These skills are critical for those who are entering a league which permits body checking and will help them avoid injury, play within the rules of the game and be a physical factor to each and every game they play in. Prior to the first session there will be a 45 minute classroom session that will discuss some safety issues which relate to body checking.
