Saturday, August 22nd, 2009 - 12:00pm
Learn the basic concepts of body checking before the season starts with this 2.5 hour clinic. The clinic will be taught by Jason Myers (Komets JV Head Coach, Devo Coach) and Kevin Muller (Komets Varsity Coach, Devo Coach, and Hockey Director). Players will get a thorough overview of the proper techniques for giving and receiving body checks, worst-case scenarios (and how to react to them), the do's and don'ts of checking, drills to practice proper technique and strength, and much more.
Unlike many other checking clinics, we will be maximizing the learning time by utilizing off-ice instructional materials from USA Hockey as well as on and off-ice drills in full equipment to reinforce proper technique and safety.
