Well HDL Fans it is with heavy hearts we write this blog as our final session (don’t cry, more sessions are in the works) came to an end tonight. The Novice kids came out with smiles ear to ear. They nailed the review and after a few tips and tricks mastered the 45 degree pivot turn. Coach Lee and Coach Dan want to thank all the parents who made the drive each day to Winsport and VIVO, laced up their child’s skates and sent them out on the ice with us. We also want to thank

T'was the night before the first day of school (for some of you) and all through the rink, not a skater was stirring not even the hockey parents…who are we kidding, the kids were jacked to be on the ice and well mom and dad had grins ear to ear as a school bell was only hours away! Tonight the skaters tackled a new review drill which saw them skate each line backwards!! Don’t forget, no bobbing up and down, keep your upper body steady, cut that skate into the ice ripping with

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!

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
