Applications For Jr. High School and High School Spring Leagues Are Now Available

Most hockey players recognize that the regular practices and competition of the scholastic season provides for a major improvement in their game. Skating, puck control, and game skills certainly advanced as the season progressed.

While the spring brings a welcome change of pace and interests, many players seek to retain those hard earned skills by continuing to play once a week.

Over the years, players and families have recognized that a Managed Player Development League is the best way to go. In fact, many have found their skills were not just maintained, but enhanced!

WHAT PLAYERS HAVE FOUND IN THE NEWHL:

  • Teams that are balanced, and rebalanced to provide fair and equal competition.
  • Experienced Professional Scholastic Coaches focused on teaching.
  • A prevailing atmosphere where personal effort and accomplishments is emphasized.
  • Freedom to experiment with new methods without undue pressure or repercussion.
  • A league that is directed towards improvement, rather than winning.

While the developers of this league have been providing similar programs for boys for nearly a decade, this will be the tenth year that we are offering this to female players. To improve on last year’s season, we have incorporated suggestions from parent /player questionnaires and coaches. This important participant input and program adjustment is what the developers think makes the NEWHL both unique and successful. After directing the Girls Pre-Prep Showcase for many years, they felt the time was right for the Girls hockey community to not only accept, but also embrace the opportunities provided by player development league.

TUESDAY NIGHT SKILLS

TUESDAY NIGHT SKILLS

10 SESSIONS: 6:20 – 7:50 PM STARTING APRIL 24, 2012
At Risuccia Arena, Wilmington, MA

Our program is not a series of copied drills run by a former player. We believe that the teaching of skills is a unique and separate Craft. The ability to identify deficiencies, in depth knowledge of improvement methods, and instructional skills tuned to the right channel are just the initial pieces of the puzzle.

Skills for Skaters: The sessions will be focused towards skills that are actually required and used in games. The primary objective of these sessions is to increase high speed skills, including stick handling, while respecting the balance and agility required of game conditions. The base elements of each session are a positive "learning environment", a healthy respect for interval training, constant self challenges, and a consistent stream of detailed methods to achieve.

By providing familiarity and training while at a competitive pace, performance improves. As the resulting sense of accomplishment is achieved, the level of confidence increases.

Goaltending Skills: The primary objective of this session is to develop goaltending basics through constant repetition of the fundamentals. A multiple of various drills focused on the proper foundations enable players to build the skills necessary to achieve their potential.
Sessions include small groups with a dedicated Goalie Coach. Featuring in depth explanations, various teaching aids, and combined with a positive approach into a program directed at the NEXT SAVE !

The cost to Enroll for all 10 Sessions is $249. If the program does not sell out to enrolled players, walk-on’s for individual sessions will be available for $35.
