This clinic includes off ice checking, video and two hours of on ice. It is designed for the hockey player ages 6 to 14 years old.  In the game of hockey it is important to know how to give and receive a check for obvious safety concerns.  In fact, 87% of all injuries that occur in hockey are directly related to body checking. Effective use of the body becomes more important at the older ages, learning good technique at an early age is critical. Availability is limited.
