Player Development Clinics
GOALIE CLINICS
The goalie clinics are divided into 2 groups (mite/squirt/6U/8U/10U and pee-wee/bantam/12U/14U) and will have level appropriate curriculum. These clinics are meant for the goalies and even if the goalies have a practice during the goalie clinic, they should attend the goalie clinic. The coaches should have proper practice plan in place should their goalie be absent for the goalie clinic. Please take note of the times, dates and the rink location as they will change periodically. If there are any skaters who want to try the goalie position, just borrow some gear and show up to the level appropriate time, be sure to tell the instructor that you are giving it a try. All goalies should make it to all the clinics.
SMALL GAMES SESSIONS
The small games sessions are Saturday ice times that will focus on small games for the majority of the session. Players are in-season and don't need more instruction, they need utilize the skills they have acquired in a fun environment. These sessions will be just fun games. Allowing the athletes multiple opportunities to try new things without negative consequences. Unlike the goalie clinics, the small games sessions should come 2nd to the players practice. However, if the athlete can make the small games sessions, they should make every effort.
