Election Day Skate & Dryland
Our Election Day Skate & Dryland includes 75 minutes of on-ice development and dryland training for 60 minutes. Building the foundational skills of skating and edgework is a high priority, mixed with other skill development, and fostering a love of the game. Hockey is an exciting sport. Let's enjoy it and grow together!

Frequently Asked Questions
How will the practices be structured?
We will spend 3/4 of our time focused on skill development and 1/4 of our time scrimmaging and/or playing short sided games. Skating/edge work will be a key focus in each practice, as we layer on other crucial skills. Having fun will be layered throughout.
The dryland sessions will include a variety of skills including shooting, stickhandling, ladder drills, chalk talks, and more.
How will the practice be maximized with players potentially ranging a handful of years apart?
Our edge work will include elements of individual practice, where a player's effort is entirely their own and should not be affected by who is around him/her. As we split into other drills and scrimmaging, we will do our best to have similar skill sets playing against each other so players feel appropriately challenged.
2024 - 2025 Season
While much of our country casts a vote, let's come together and hone our hockey skills.
We will spend time honing our skating and edge work, refining our stickhandling and shooting, pushing the limits on our speed and compete levels, and we'll have a lot of fun along the way.
We will also spend time in our dryland session working on proper shooting form, how to get more power in our shots, stickhandling, passing, plyometrics, speed, and team building.
Hope you can join us!
