Memorial Sports Center is proud to host Coach Brett Leonard and Vermont Hockey Training Center’s Super-Skills Camp series. The camp series will come to Middlebury on February 20th-22nd and offers three elite level skill/position specific camps designed to improve your player’s game. Coach Leonard is excited to return to Memorial Sports Center and to provide this opportunity to our hockey community.
Each of the three camps offered will include three 60 minute on-ice sessions. Registration fee is $125 per selected camp. Take a look at the camp details and schedules listed below, select one (or more) that best suit your player’s goals, and then click here to register.
ADVANCED EDGEWORK / POWERSKATING CAMP
The Advanced Edgework and Powerskating camp is not your typical “powerskating” session. The VHTC utilizes many Russian and Swedish edge control drills that challenge a player’s comfort zone. This camp is for players that are proficient skaters that want to be challenged and improve their edge control, agility, acceleration and stride efficiency. Also, there will be a special focus on developing the advanced “linear” crossovers technique with and without a puck.
Feb 20th: 8:30am-9:30am
Feb 21st: 8:15am-9:15am
Feb 22nd: 8:30am-9:30am
PREMIER SCORING ACADEMY
The Premiere Scoring Academy will introduce translatable shooting tactics that professional players use to score. Such tactics include: shooting in stride, shooting off of bad passes, shooting off either foot, shot release with angle change, attacking from below the goal-line, creating trap doors, 10 and 2 utilization and more!
