Hockey for Life
Learn to Train
• For girls, this stage covers the ages of 8 – 11; for boys,
the age range is 9 – 12.
• Participants are ready to acquire the specific skills
necessary to excel in hockey.
• This is the period of accelerated learning for
coordination and fine motor control.
• It is the critical stage for the acquisition of hockey skills
• Arguably the most important stage in athletic
preparation.
Windows of Trainability
• Throughout the entire phase, the skills window of
trainability is open
• The central nervous system and body are at a crucial
point to acquire specific skills.
• By teaching correct training strategies at the appropriate
time, player development is maximized.
• This window relates to tracking the physical
development of each athlete, which is critical to identify
and apply the appropriate training methods.
Peak Height Velocity
• PHV refers to the point in which the rate of a player’s
physical growth is the greatest.
• Training both on and off the ice is structured with the
concept of PHV as a guide to differentiate and
individualize instruction.
• Monitoring growth occurs regularly during this stage by
measuring height every 6 weeks
Hockey Specific Development
• Technical development is the forefront of instruction.
• Emphasis is placed on teaching and continuously refining
proper skating and puck control skills with a clear and
underlying focus on technical execution:
– Learning and refining edge control skills for balance and
coordination
– Skating agility skills without the puck
– Refined skating skills with puck control skills (multi-tasking)
– Attacking skills (one-on-one, two-on-one, one-on-two or more
defenders)
Hockey Specific Development
• As skill is acquired and mastered, speed with skill will be
heavily emphasized
• Body checking skills are introduced at 12U, including the
ability to deliver a check and receive a check.
• Offensive puck protection, support, and deception skills
are delivered through many forms of instruction.

–
Skating: change of pace, change of direction, spins
Puck control: fakes and dekes on a goalie
Passing: look off pass receiver, fake pass
Shooting: shoot off either foot, cadence – shoot in stride,
camouflage – screen shots
– looking off a shot, fake shot
Hockey Specific Development
• Systems play will be incorporated into drills and small
area games, and are part of a comprehensive classroom
education program
• Elements of coordinated attacks are taught and
practiced throughout this stage, including two-on-one,
two-on-two, three-on-two, two-on-three.
• Vocal communication and teamwork is the cornerstone
and a fundamental requirement for AJH.
Hockey Specific Development
• On and off ice activities will be structured to improve
rhythm and coordination, spatial awareness, reaction
time, balance, and agility
• Explosive strength is introduced, and general lower body
and core strength is incorporated into on-ice and off-ice
activities.
• Throughout the stage, players will develop and
continuously improve strength, endurance, and speed.
• Proper technical skill acquisition will dominate all
instruction
