Nike Skills Development Program

Dundas Minor Hockey Association has acquired a complete set of the Hockey Canada Skills Manuals in support of the Hockey Canada Skills Development Program. The Hockey Canada Skills Manuals are part of the Skills Development Series - The Official Hockey Instructional Curriculum of Hockey Canada. All coaches and on ice volunteers are encouraged to utilize these resources to assist in enhancing skill development in all programs and levels of play.

Overview

The drills for this series were developed, to assist coaches in running sequential, well organized practices. Each manual set contains 24 practices divided into 4 training phases with each phase having its own objectives and outcomes. It may be applied as presented or simply used as a guideline by the more experienced coach. Beyond these valuable drills, the manuals also contain sections on topics such as teaching tips, off-ice stretching exercises and safety tips.

The Drills

The 24 practice plans will cover an entire season and are laid out in a manner that is very easy to follow and to work with. Each drill is described in detail and a time limit is included to ensure that the practice is kept on track. As well, key points are included so that coaches can ensure the players are not simply doing drills but instead "learning the game". Each diagram is clearly illustrated allowing for easy understanding of the drills.
