Intermediate / Advanced Camp: Defense Power Skating & Puck Skills

Take your defensive game to the next level with a camp focused on skating, positioning, and puck control in defensive situations. Players will develop backward stride mechanics, backward crossovers, transitions, and edgework, giving them the speed, balance, and agility needed to stay with attackers and close gaps effectively. In addition to skating, this camp emphasizes defensive puck skills, including angling, poke checks, stick positioning, and breakout passes under pressure. Players will apply these skills in small-area games, battle drills, and game-like scenarios, learning how to regain possession, transitions with the puck, and make smart decisions in real time. Perfect for defensemen and two-way forwards, this camp helps athletes improve mobility, decision-making, and effectiveness without the puck, leaving the ice more confident and impactful in all defensive situations.
