The Championship Habits portion of the week was lead by instructor Kyle Hardy and Kyle was fortunate to host guest speakers Dan D'Astoli and Samson Mahbod this week.
The on ice work has been at a much higher pace than we had expected from the group and the off ice workouts have been having their designed effect..."I can't feel my legs! They are dead!" Making the kids stronger and better able to compete.
This afternoon will feature the scrimmaging and game play that we wrap up the week on since inception.
Of course the Midget group get former Tigers and some professionals joining in for a skate to push the Midgets to play a little faster.
"I am very pleased from what I have seen from an effort perspective, from a speed perspective and the conduct of the group has been great for the first week," remarked Hockey School Director Chris Sides. " This is a great group of kids and our instructors are doing a great job working with them!"
The defense group have received some great instruction from Kyle Hardy and new member Matt Turcotte. Matt, of course, is the defense coach with the Chicoutimi Sagueneens.
Lead instructor Scott Lambton has worked in all the fundamentals, working on skating, stickhandling, shooting and then, added in some positional play . Instructors Sy Nutkevitch, Matt Bissonnette , Alex Cote have been instructing at the stations influencing the kids corrections and nudging the kids to execute better.
Goalie instructor Vinny Lessard and his associate Jesse Turrin have been working the goalies, Vinny's been quick with the instructions and working the lesson plan and the goalies are gobbling that stuff up!
Michelle Sides has been working with the girls in the camp, chasing them through the flow drills to get them out of their comfort zone, mentoring them in the dry land sessions with dry land instructor Eyal Azimov.
Of course , dryland guru Yves Ethier has made his mark with his strength and conditioning plan.
So, its been a promising first week and Monday will be the beginning of a new week!
