body contact & checking clinic

Body Contact & Checking Clinic is designed to help players develop the skills, confidence, and awareness needed to play a physical game safely and effectively.  

What Players Will Learn

Our progressive curriculum focuses on teaching players how to:

• Understand the difference between body contact and body checking

• Develop proper body position, balance, and leverage

• Learn safe and effective checking techniques using the shoulders, hips, and hands

• Improve angling, timing, and puck separation

• Build confidence in board battles and game-contact situations

• Increase hockey IQ and situational awareness

Classroom + On-Ice Training

Each day begins with classroom instruction and video analysis, where players will learn proper techniques, safety principles, and game application. Players will then transition to the ice to reinforce those concepts through progressive drills, contact development, battle situations, and game-like scenarios.

Our Goal

Physical play is a skill that must be taught. Our objective is to help players become more confident, controlled, and effective in contact situations while emphasizing proper technique, player safety, and smart decision-making.
