Summer Sessions 2024
Summer Sessions are here!
If your player has goals to work on physical fitness, enhance coordination, and build some confidence - you are in the right place! BYH is offering sessions in skill development, power skating and goalie clinics to give players a chance to continue their practice over the summer months.
Whether aiming for personal improvement or competitive success, participating in hockey skill development empowers youth to grow both as athletes and as individuals, preparing them for challenges on and off the ice.
skills
Skill development sessions are crucial for youth players as they provide dedicated time to refine and expand their hockey abilities without the pressure of regular season games. These sessions allow players to focus intensely on specific skills like shooting, stickhandling, and game tactics, which are often overlooked during the busy competitive season. Engaging in summer skills sessions not only improves individual performance but also fosters a deeper understanding of the game, setting a solid foundation for future success in hockey.
Power Skating
Powerskating is essential for youth players as it focuses on mastering fundamental skating techniques, such as acceleration, agility, and edge control. These skills form the foundation for all aspects of hockey, enabling players to move efficiently and swiftly on the ice, ultimately enhancing their overall performance during games. By investing time in powerskating, youth players can significantly improve their skating mechanics, which translates into increased confidence and competitiveness on the hockey rink.

Goalie Clinics
Goalies benefit immensely from summer sessions as they offer focused opportunities to refine technical skills such as positioning, angles, and rebound control, which are crucial for success in the crease. These sessions also allow goalies to work on their physical conditioning and agility, essential for quick reflexes and endurance during games. Engaging in summer sessions helps goalies maintain peak performance levels and prepares them mentally and physically for the demands of the upcoming hockey season.
