The West Hillhurst Community Association is proud to host the 2018 Spring Cross-Ice 3-on-3 League (+ stick-handling camp and detailed skating lessons).
Keep your skills and talent sharp over the spring / summer months and learn the benefits of Cross-Ice hockey. As stated by Hockey Canada, “the difference in skill-development opportunities with cross-ice or half-ice hockey are significant: players receive five times more passes and take six times more shots. They’re called on to have to make more decisions more quickly and are overall, more engaged in the game.
“Skater aren’t the only ones seeing an increase in action; the goalies are also learning more quickly the basics of better body positioning. Our goalies are actually exhausted at the end. Instead of facing 15 shots, they’re facing 20 to 30 shots every nine minutes. It’s just shot after shot after shot at them.”
Games will be played in each end-zone and the neutral-zone will be used each Tuesday to teach detailed balance and edge work. Each of the sessions will be taught taught by one of three professional figure skating coaches. These are individual lessons as there will be at least two coaches per ice time. There will also be a full one hour session on May 3. These sessions are included in the cost of the league.
There are multiple age and skill divisions available at a cost of $350.00 that includes 13, one (1) hour ice times on Tuesdays & Thursdays during April 10 – May 29, 2018. For more information or to register, contact info@hybridhockey.ca
