Lets Talk Tot Hockey

Nothing brings a smile to your face like watch little kids learn to skate. Yeah, Yeah, the bigger kids and adults are faster, stronger, EXCITING to watch, but if you need a mood elevator, come out and watch tothockey. 

 

The Tot Hockey program at All Seasons Ice Arena is a learn to skate program that teaches children from age 3 and up. We teach boys and girls (Did you know girls hockey is the fastest growing sport in America right now?) how to skate, and how to fall, because at this level that happens a bunch.  But the cool thing about these little ones is that they never get hurt when they fall.  Why? They are way closer to the ice than adults, and way more nimble.  In essence, they bounce right back up.  Definitely confirms the statement “The bigger they are, the harder they fall”.  And honestly, the tots don’t mind falling, they actually laugh about it. It’s all good, Mom!

Learning to skate teaches your child a bunch, balance, agility and it is done with great instructors who place safety first and FUN second.  Stress free, physical activity that can be done year round, no matter what the weather – very popular when its 100 degrees outside like today.

If you are interested in starting your child in a Tot Hockey class, visit our website, or contact me. I am positive your child will love it!

Yours in Hockey,

Do You Need to Attend Ice Hockey Camps?

If you've been playing hockey, or simply thinking about getting started, you've undoubtedly heard about Ice Hockey Camps. Just about every major sport, and even some of the minor ones, have camps and clinics related to them. Hardcore athletes usually make it a point to attend at least a few of these camps, but some people are on the fence about whether or not hockey camps are for them.

After all, some people reason, can't you learn the same stuff at regular practices that you'll learn at camps? That's a good point, as the majority of skills that you can work on at camp, are skills that you'll pick up along the way. But there are some definite benefits to going to a hockey camp that you should consider as part of your regular training.

Dedicated Camps

While there are some camps and clinics that are very broad in scope, many of them are very focused and can help you turn weaknesses into strengths or to build on strengths that you already have. Giving laser-focused attention to one particular skill is a great reason to include camps in your training regimen.

See Who Else is Improving Their Game

When you come to a camp, you'll meet other, like-minded hockey players, who are working hard at improving their own skills. It's a great opportunity to check out your competition and see how your skills stack up against other players.

Trust me when I tell you that these are just the basic reasons that you should seriously consider attending hockey camps. If you're dedicated to becoming the best at your sport, you're sure to find that you will become a much better hockey player after attending camps especially if you are moving up a level or trying to make a higher team.

See ya on the ice,
