Testimonial

I can't thank you enough for the 3 on 3 program. He came into it absolutely hating hockey (he's played travel hockey for the past 7 years) but he has really enjoyed the 3 on 3, and is now at the point where he is going to continue to play next year. He's had horrible experiences with travel hockey for the past 3 years; his experience is that goalies don't get coached but still get yelled at. While I recognize there's no coaching in 3 on 3, the design of the game actually teaches them a lot. He has played the puck more in the past 9 or 10 weeks than he has in his entire 6 year career as a goalie. Coaches would never let him play the puck before (in fact, he would get in trouble for doing it). I really like the low key atmosphere where essentially you just let the kids play. There's no fighting, and your referees have zero tolerance for bad behaviour.

Thanks,

Michele

2010 HHTD Boys and Girls Spring 3 on 3 League!

Boys and Girls Spring Hockey - 12 Game Schedule One game per week and no practices

The absolute best 3 0N 3 development league offered in the Tri-City area! Come see what all the talk is about!!!!

Hometown Hockey Training and Development Inc is proud to be offering the best 3 on 3 developmental hockey league in the Tri-City area. HHTD's goal is to develop hockey player's in a safe and structured environment. All player's involved with the HHTD program will be offered the chance to improve their game at their own pace in a fun, stress-free environment. Lines will play against each other based on their skill level to offer a chance to feel good about themselves every time they step on the ice and create a positive attitude towards the best game on ice.

The divisions are divided up on a 4 on 4 basis and 3 on 3 basis depending on age. This will allow for optimum skill development in a 60 minute time span which is the goal of our program. Our unique rule system only complements our goal since it creates a game with a flow to it and promotes a creative, well conditioned hockey player. While these skills are being developed, the kids will be in a safe and fun environment so everyone wins!!

TESTIMONIAL

Just wanted to say thanks to you guys for running so many great programs. Both our boys really had fun and improved their skills during spring 3 on 3. Aedan just completed the forward clinic and came of the ice each time pumped, talking about what he learned and excited to get out there with you guys the following week. We appreciate when you and the other coaches pulled the kids aside and taught them to do the drills, or get in position correctly to help them improve their game. I am sure this extra training will help Aedan in his season in Plattsville.

Please pass a big thank-you onto Jamie and the other coaches on your staff as well that were involved in the forward clinic. We know that you all put in alot of extra hours teaching these kids skills and the love of the game.

We have decided to sign Aedan up for the Sunday morning program as the forward clinic has been such a positive experience for him.

Enjoy the rest of your summer and we will see you at the rink.

Best Regards;

Dave and Tara Bell

SPECIALIZED CLINICS WE OFFER

Skating clinics focus on form, technique, acceleration, agility, balance, speed and strength.

Shooting clinics include work on positioning, wristshots, snapshots, slapshots, and backhand shots. The focus is on power, accuracy, quick release, shooting in motion, one-timers and deking.

Puck Handling clinics focus on stick handling, puck protection, puck control at high speed, passing, one on one play, deking, and offensive and defensive situations.

Checking clinics focus on both receiving and giving a check with particular attention on the player having a balanced foundation. These sessions will also cover stick checks, one on one's, angling, delaying and containment.

Goaltender clinics focus on the basics of goaltending. We pay particular attention to experience level and tailor drills that present an appropriate challenge for each individual. Young goaltenders need more attention than they usually receive and we pride ourselves on the programs we have assembled for them.
