The Program

The Full Stride Instructional Hockey Program for Youth provides 8 weeks of professional instruction in hockey skills development, including skating, in a structured environment consisting of skills clinics and controlled small games for youth players who wish to improve their play. We emphasize skills improvement for younger and less experienced players and celebrate the experience with a grand finale game the last day.

Expert explanation of skills and the opportunity to reproduce those skills in a supportive environment provide challenges for a wide range of experience levels. We utilize a variety of instructional techniques and small games activities to help develop game-speed decision making and improve the player’s ability to read and react to situations as they arise.

The Full Stride method relies on fun to educate students in the proper techniques of skating and puck control. Our experienced Head Instructors, former NHL professional Dan McFall and Brent Hill, a former member of the St. Michael's College team, are assisted by a team of Jr. Instructors to provide a high degree of support for your child's learning and a low student-instructor ratio.

Students are divided into groups based on age and experience, with a maximum group size of 30. All groups are co-ed. Sign your child up for the level they will play in ’08-’09.

All sessions at Cairns Arena, So. Burlington.
