Oh My Goodness!!! Tonight’s session was amazing Guys and Gal !! First, Coach Lee and Coach Dan want to give you all a big pat on the back for your much improved listening skills…22 sets of eyes were glued to the Coaches while giving instruction, way to go team! After a quick warm-up we jumped right into the review,we must say your 180 degree turns are lights out and those “C” cuts going forward and backwards…perfection! Just remember, stick leads you into those turns and k

And like that….the Novice Prep Clinic kicked off tonight! 20 Novice kids hit the ice and were flying! Coach Lee and Coach Dan had to rein them in a few times as it was clear they were pretty excited to be back on the ice. There was lots of chatter on the ice as old teammates hooked back up, with that out of the way the kids were put through a series of skating drills including some forward stride refreshers, backward “C” cutting, and tight 180 degree turns. We were very imp

Dangle, toe drag, snipe and bar down…these were only a few things seen at HockeyDL’s weekend Puck Skills Clinic! 45 Novice and Atom aged kids took to the ice to hone their skills with a puck and after seeing what we saw…be afraid goalies! The skaters had the chance to show off their moves in a series of flow drills that had them keeping their heads up as they weaved through the cones while controlling the biscuit. Remember…we handle the puck not push and chase, also hockey

It’s a bitter sweet day at HockeyDL…our very first clinic has come to an end. Coach Lee and Coach Dan are sad to see all you Timbits go, but we are super excited with how much you all learned! We want to thank all you little skaters for your hard work as it showed day after day with how well you all progressed. There is no doubt in our minds that you are all ready for the upcoming season! Last but not least a BIG THANKS to all you parents who got them to the rink each day,

Day 4?? Wow, time flies when your snow plowing, “C” cutting, glide turning, line jumping, 2 foot to 1 foot gliding, and well having FUN!! Today we had a birthday girl lap, great job Sophia! Kids what can we say, Coach Lee and Coach Dan are blown away with how ell everyone is doing, you all mastered the one foot glide around the cones today and those line jumps showing off the balance…let’s just say good thing the roof is so high at Winsport or we’d be busting our helmets th

It was Hump Day for the Timbits today and with that brought an eager group ready to move! After a quick review of putting on the brakes with our new snowplowing skills the group jumped right into 2 foot glide turns around the cones….remember team, the stick is your steering wheel let it guide you into the turn AND both feet on the ice! Heels Together….that was the sound coming from the coaches as the skaters got into the “V” position preparing us for full ice sculling, oh r

HDL Timbits Day 2 has come and gone….WOW, Coach Lee and Coach Dan were super impressed with how everyone improved in just one day! Today we tried our luck with some glide turns and backwards walking/skating. Remember keep your head up and upper body straight when going in reverse, after that drop your bottom hand and you're off to the races! Oh and that twig in your hands…let it lead you into the turn, stick first! Get some rest as day 3 we will be tackling some quick sta

Hello Hockey DL Fans! Night one of The Timbits Shake off the Dust Clinic is in the books! 20 eager and bright eyed first and second year Timbit players hit the ice decked out in their new HDL yellow and red jerseys with big smiles. Coach Lee and Coach Dan had a blast putting them through the paces keying on proper stance, stride and some one foot snow plow stops. Day one was capped off with a Red vs Yellow relay, that saw Team Red narrowly inch out Team Yellow! Day 2 will
