Attention CT Hockey Parents of Kids Ages 6-9

Skate Faster, Play Better:

December Hockey Skills Clinic

Details:

📅 Sundays: December 6, 13 and 20
⏰ 4:50 PM
📍 Northford Ice Pavilion
👦 Ages 6–9, grouped by skill
💲 $60 for a single session or $150 for all 3
🎟️ Limited to 24 players · Registration closes Nov 29

What We Will Work On:
Skating: edges, stride, stops, and starts

Puck handling with eyes up

Passing and shooting

Small-area games that focus on controlling Offense and Defense work

Every session follows our Every Hockey Shift approach. Players are grouped by skill so every kid is challenged fairly. That means small groups, stations, lots of puck touches, and every minute on the ice used well. For the love of hockey, we make every shift count.

Meet Coach Bouch

Michael Bouchard has lived the game at every level. He came up through West Haven Youth Hockey, played prep hockey at The Frederick Gunn School, and helped Salem State College reach the NCAA Division III Final Four before going on to play professionally.

Along the way, one lesson stuck with him more than any other. Legendary power skating coach Paul Vincent taught him that great hockey players are built on great skating. That belief is at the heart of every session Coach Bouch runs: skating first, because everything else in the game depends on it.

Today, as a USA Hockey certified coach and strength and conditioning coach, he has spent the last 10 years helping young players fall in love with hockey, many of them stepping on the ice for the very first time.

Does my child need hockey experience?

Yes. Your child must have at least one year of playing organized hockey

What gear does my child need?

Full hockey gear plus off-ice training clothes (sweats, shorts, sneakers), and water bottle

What if we miss a session?

Make-up sessions can’t be guaranteed for the December clinic. If we run additional sessions this winter, which we’re planning for February, a missed December session can be applied as a credit toward one of February sessions.
