Skills Development: Agility and Puck Control

A brief look at a recent skills development session with the Oakville Rangers Minor Midget AA team. We work through a progression of skating and puck skills useful in high traffic situations. Players learn to execute different skating techniques efficiently while maintaining puck control. Players are training with the Bronko Belt for the warm up and a portion of the high tempo drills that follow as a sport-specific way to develop the dynamic balance and single leg strength required to produce rapid direction change and acceleration.
