Last night we held our very first Skill Foundations and Skills Development sessions, and wow… what a night! 🙌
This was the first time we moved away from age-based sessions and instead focused on ability-based training, and the results were honestly incredible.
Our experienced Cubs Audrey, Freddie, Zakk, Seb, Ellis and Leo came down to support our newer Cubs, with each player paired up with a partner for the full session. They worked together through every drill set by the coaches, with the experienced Cubs guiding, encouraging and supporting the newer players every step of the way. The smiles on the faces of our newest Cubs said it all 😁 and it really brought a huge family feeling to the rink.
Straight after, our more experienced players took to the rink for their Skills Development session, and the coaches were nothing but impressed. The speed at which the drills were carried out, the understanding of each exercise, and the overall standard on the rink really showed how much improvement this group continues to make after another season of game time.
We finished the night with another Players vs Netminder shootout 🥅 After winning last week’s challenge, Freddie was pushed all the way to the final shot this week — and just managed to take the win again! 👀🔥 Can he make it 3–0 next week, or will the players work out his tactics?
A massive well done to all our Cubs — attitudes were outstanding, effort was amazing, and everyone gave their all across both training sessions. We can’t wait to see the improvement over the next few months as players settle into their newly assigned sessions and continue their pathway towards senior session hockey 🏒💪
👉 New players welcome!
