The U7 (Formerly IP) Fundamental Skills program is dedicated to teaching the foundational skills needed by all hockey players and is designed to supplement their minor hockey program as a U7 or Junior Fundamentals player.
The core focus of the program places an emphasis on proper skating technique, as players will work on developing the basic mechanisms of a strong and efficient skating stride and improving balance and agility. Over the course of this 3-day program, lessons will include forward and backwards stride, starts & stops, crossovers, and tight turns. Instructors will also introduce the key concepts of passing, shooting, and maintaining puck control, in order to ensure well-rounded development.
December 21– Skating Day
December 22 – Puck skills Day
December 23 – Shooting Day
PLEASE NOTE we HIGHLY recommend beginner players register for our Intro 2 Hockey Program before enrolling in U7 Fundamentals. Players must meet a minimum skill requirement which includes the basic ability to take a stride, use their edges to turn, and control the puck while moving forward. Participants are subject to removal and placement in our Intro 2 Hockey Program if deemed necessary by an instructor.

Information
Our qualified instructors will correct and properly demonstrate each skill in a fun and comfortable learning environment, designed to increase each player’s confidence and enjoyment. Skaters will work in small groups at stations with extended times to increase the number of repetitions, with constant error detection and correction from instructors. Our lesson plans are designed to be fun for all participants and feature great instructor-to-participant ratios in order to ensure personalized feedback and proper support for all players. We believe excellence is achieved through repetition. While each session follows the same proven program structure, new drills and variations are introduced to continuously reinforce key skills and support player development.
Full program details will be provided to registered families one week prior to the start date of the program.
