The MAXPRO Elite Hockey Skills program is fun but challenging and will provide all levels of players with a solid foundation of the essentials skills required to advance their level of play. Special attention is placed on all aspects of forwards and backwards skating. Emphasis is placed on stride, edge control, cross-overs, stopping and turns. All aspects of puck control and shooting will also be taught. Each skill will be broken down so that all students gain a solid understanding of the skills being taught. Skill specific games will be used to aid in improvement while providing fun for all students. The program is based on a unique, time-proven methodology developed exclusively for MAXPRO Elite Hockey Skills by our founders Igor and Maxime Gratchev.
The basis for our teaching strategy is to combine the strongest Russian and North American Hockey training techniques. Russia has been a dominant force in international hockey for the past several decades because of the rigorous methods used in training and educating hockey players and in focus with techniques. The emphasis of our program is on the development of skating technique and game strategies. As you know, skillful skating techniques are an important part of becoming an accomplished hockey player. In our program, we incorporate all the traditional powerful straight-ahead approach of American skating, as well as the high-speed fluid maneuverability of the Russians. We will also work on combining the team tactics of the Russian tradition with the more assertive tactics of the North American strategy.
The MAXPRO Elite hockey skills program is incorporated in our TEN STEPS program that runs from September through March. It is also available during special spring sessions and summer camps.
If the group sessions do not quite work with your schedule, private lessons are also available.
