THE PROGRAM

ALCAN is designed to cater to the individual skills of hockey. We are committed to creating the foundation for the complete hockey player, through the instructional teaching of specific hockey skills. At ALCAN we emphasize our self-described S.C.R.U.F.F. system.  This includes Skills, Creativity, Respect, Understanding, Foundation, & Fun. We maintain an individualized format, in order that our participants challenge themselves, not compete with the others. The main emphasis of teaching is placed on Skating, Shooting, & Stickhandling.. With the overwhelming response to the Full Day program, we have been able to focus on the importance of Safety & Respect. We provide the atmosphere needed by all young players to establish safety & respect for the other players on and off the ice, the instructors, and the game of hockey.

ALCAN HOCKEY ACADEMY
The ALCAN Hockey Academy is the classroom component of the camp which we provide between ice sessions. In this setting, players will use their ALCAN ACTIVITY BOOK to participate in daily activities that will be fun and informative. Hockey Ethics, Safety & Respect will be discussed, as well as Off Ice Training Skills. 

FULL DAY PROGRAM
The Full Day Program is a comprehensive camp that includes Full Time supervision by members of the ALCAN staff. The first ice session is designed to focus on the Skill of the Day. The players will then participate in a classroom style Hockey Academy session that will include fun and enriching cooperative activities which complement the day’s topic. After a break for lunch, off-ice fitness training will include techniques that pertain to fitness development and team building.   After a break, the players will return to the ice for the second ice session. 

ICE SESSIONS
Players will receive instruction and lots of opportunity for individual practice in the following three areas:
Skating: adaptive program combining elements of power skating with those of hockey.
Shooting: techniques concentrating on body and hand positioning.
Stickhandling: emphasis placed on puck control and puck protection.

DON’T FORGET !
This is hockey and you need to have all the proper equipment. If you are a newcomer to the game give us a call and we will assist you in any way we can. Also, this is a full day camp and you need more than just your hockey gear, so plan ahead and check this list.

 Lunch & Snacks: we will have a break for lunch and time for snacks between the ice sessions and fitness training. (We will be checking the lunches the first day, so watch out for the junk foods!!).

 Extra Clothes: you will need an extra change of underwear for the second ice session, along with running shoes and training gear for the fitness training outdoors.

 Hockey Gear: cup, garter belt, shin pads, socks, pants, skates, tape, shoulder, elbow pads, helmet, mouthguard, gloves, stick.
