Intro to High-Performance (U9)

INTRODUCTION TO THE HIGH-PERFORMANCE PATHWAY

This camp is an upgraded version of the former “Futurs Élites” Rendez-Vous Chrysler Camp. The emphasis of this camp is teaching the basics of our sport all while having fun. Although fun will be the main ingredient, discipline will be present. These two aspects are very important for future high-performance success. A hockey player is not just someone who can handle a puck, but someone who is respectful, disciplined, and dedicated. In addition to the three on-ice sessions, the young hockey players will have a session on the soccer field to underline the all-important multi-sport approach. This approach is crucial to the development and success of all athletes. Along with these player “on-ice and off-ice sessions”, a parent information session will be given to introduce them to the different possible upcoming hockey journeys for their kids.  During this information session, the concepts of long-term development, the multi-sport approach, and perseverance will be discussed as well as all the services we offer to accompany them in their individual “hockey parent” journey.

Our goalie coach, Tommy Alain, may be on the ice for some sessions but not all of them. There will be no goalie instruction when he’s not on the ice.

The on Ice Focus of the Camps Is:

• Skating (intro to balance, controle, edges, etc.)
• Puck handling
• Shooting

• Puck handling
• Professional instruction
