An emphasis will be placed on balance, forward and backward skating, stopping, crossovers, and agility skills. Players will learn puck handling, passing, shooting, and the basic skills needed to play in a game of hockey.Small Ice Games (including Cross Ice 3 on 3) will be introduced to enhance the players ability to stickhanlde, pass, and shoot in a game situation. For a small fee ( $5 per event) participants will be eligible to play in some New Hampshire Amateur Hockey Association Jamborees that will be held throughout the State.
