Hockey Mission Statement!

Our main focus is to teach the game of hockey and skating skills. Our instructors have over 30 years hockey experience and a love and passion for the game which is visible in our treatment of the players, in our approach to teaching and most importantly in our attitude. With fun and positive reinforcement the players enjoyment level goes up and happy kids play harder and you see the results quicker. In achieving our primary focus the players leave our instructors with life skill, confidence, discipline and respect.

Our Niagara Hockey Camps are designed to hit the following areas;

PASSING (All ages): Forehand, backhand, receiving passes in motion, saucer passes, true foot passing, picking passes out of the air, drop passes, cycling and effective passing for defensive zone breakouts.

BODY CHECKING (Peewee and Up ages): Effective and safe techniques in giving and receiving checks. We will teach the player to separate the puck carrier from the puck while keeping injuries and penalties at a minimum. Another important factor of checking is how to receive a check properly to avoid injury. Blue Steel Performance Hockey wants to teach and build confidence up in young players. Body Checking is one of the most effective components of the game. If player does not have the confidence to do this

SHOOTING & SCORING (All ages): Wrist shot, snap shot, slap shot, backhand shooting, true foot shot, deking, shooting in motion, in tight lifting/roofing, and the ability to use fakes and deception while attacking.

PERFORMANCE ( All ages): Acceleration from a stationary position, lengthening the stride, inside/outside edge control, efficient use of hands on the stick to assist skating, tight turns to allude the opposition, transition skating, cross-over’s, backwards cross-under, and a complete breakdown of the dynamics associated with skating effectively and efficiently.

PUCK HANDLING (All ages): Hand positioning, rolling the wrist, cupping the blade, moving through skates and sticks, body positioning for puck possession, toe dragging, fakes, spins, and the art of puck control.
