Hockey Canada coaching programs are designed to provide coaches with the tools necessary to improve
athlete development. Whether it is certification programs, on-line learning, specialty clinics, mentorship or
high performance, ultimately the goal is to provide the player with the best possible experience.
Practices, clinics, or camps – all ice sessions should be designed to engage every participant consistently.
Kids don’t attend practice to watch others play. Kids enjoy practices when they have fun and they experience
an improvement in their overall skills.
Build a foundation that will never crack by properly teaching the basics. Learning the fundamentals and
perfecting the same basics at every level of play is essential to having any chance of success.
