On Saturday, August 17th MTMHA & TPH (Total Package Hockey) will be hosting a free checking clinic for MTMHA players in the
U13 (2012/2013) and
U15 (2010/2011) divisions.
For our U13 age players (2012/2013 birth years), the purpose of this clinic will be an introduction to the key stages and technique associated with the NCCP checking progression model and what tactics can and can't be applied at the U13 level.
Realizing players do not get into full body checking until U15 age, many of these techniques should be applied throughout a player's development, and if taught effectively, can enhance the player's ability to control the puck, create quality scoring opportunities, ensure their own personal safety and develop confidence in how to play the game.
For our U15 age players (2010/2011 birth year) the purpose of this clinic will be to continue teachings of the NCCP 4-step progression model related to body checking including positioning & angling, stick checks, contact confidence, and body checking.
