New 3 on 3 Hockey
New to our hockey camp this year is 3 on 3 hockey. The morning sessions will continue to focus on skill development and the afternoon sessions will consist of fun 3 on 3 games. These games continue to gain popularity among players and have proven to be an incredibly fun time for everyone.
In 3 on 3 hockey, each team has 3 skaters and a goalie on the ice at a time. This format creates a fast, exciting pace and promotes creativity amongst players of all skill levels.
We have also added ice time for 17 to 19 year old players to prepare them for upcoming tryouts. This session will take the form of 3 on 3 hockey.
In addition, we have also added a Timbits class for the young skaters aged 4 to 6. This session will focus on fundamental hockey skills development and having fun. Please check the application form and program information regarding times and early bird fees.
The game of hockey is simply a game! Games are meant to be played and are meant to be fun. I am a big advocate of fun. I believe the more fun a student is having the more that student is learning, and in turn, retaining. I've been to a few camps throughout my career, either instructing or attending the camp myself as a young player. I feel the players want to learn when in a positive environment. My style of teaching is that of positive reinforcement. I provide fun and motivating tactics that focus on the individual player of his or her needs. I am a firm believer in teaching kids on a personal level, I make sure our instructors are educated with our philosophy. Gagne Hockey Development will gear its program to the type of skills that kids need to learn, and want to learn. Instructors will be professional on and off the ice so that your kids will learn how the game is played today. The experience my staff and I will bring to our school will only benefit your kids. Our staff are selected based on their ability to teach skills and communicate clearly and effectively in a manner that all players of any age can relate to.
Practice does not make perfect...Perfect practice makes perfect...
Lace'em up,
