Wisconsin Capitols
These teams are for players in our area to start to develop their overall hockey sense. We feel that this is a part of their game that players are beginning to fall behind in.
We are offering a place where kids can have two full-ice practices, with only 1 team on the ice, every week. They’ll start to learn positioning on the ice, learn how to create space with the puck for themselves and their teammates, and learn how to move with or without the puck to create space. They’ll continue to develop their skating & stick-handling skills through different drills and scenario’s they’ll be placed in with different drills. But we also want to really have a focus on starting to develop their feel for the game or "hockey sense" and develop their all-around game as a hockey player & teammate as well.
With us, they’ll be able to do it in an environment with good coaching and an approach to it that will have a positive impact on your skaters game and improvement/development that you’ll be able to see.
