Your young hockey player will be ready to play more confidently, safely and aggressively at the next level.
Body Checking/Body Positioning
1. Positioning and Angling – This is the first step in teaching checking. Learn how to control skating and to establish position to approach the opponent from an angle that minimizes time and space for the opponent.
2. Stick Checking – Effectively use the stick for poke checking, sweep checking, lifting or locking the opponent’s stick.
3. Body Contact – Use the body to block the opponent’s way or take away his skating lanes. The correct stance and effective use of leg strength are important parts of these techniques.
4. Body Checking – This includes teaching techniques to give and receive a body check safely and within the rules. Video
