Want to improve vastly on your hockey skills or touch up on a few areas?

Hockey is a tough sport.  Improving the skills of one skater can be the difference between a win or a loss.  Hockey often comes down to 1v1 or 2v1 defensive and offensive battles.  This means your individual skills are extremely important to yourself or your team.  Losing a battle behind your own net could result in a cheeky rap-around or a easy slot one timer if your defenders make the mistake of chasing the man behind the net.  Offensively, you could be in many 1v1 battles after a dumped puck and your racing to it.  Even if the opposing team beats you to it, those situations often result in pins.  Being ready for this could get the puck played back to the d and give you an open man because of the pinned opposing player still getting back into the play.  Millions of other situations are crucial and require sometimes just the skill of 1 player.  

How can I improve?

Watching college or NHL on TV exposes you to hockey at its highest level.  Its your goal to play like they do regardless of your age.  If your in college then you want to be just as skilled as the players you see in nationally viewed games.  If your not even in middle school, your goal is to someday be like them.  You can often watch highlights on NHL.com too.  But the best way to improve is obvious.  Practice.  However, practicing wrong could actually make you worse!  Wrong sessions of hockey practice could result in terrible habits and bad choices you'd make during a big game.

How do I practice the "Right" Way?

I've gone through the internet and have found a fantastic guide for you!  It'll keep you busy for weeks, keening your skills in all areas on and off the ice.  I myself have looked through and validated that it is correct material that is worth any hockey player's time no matter the age, attitude, or experience.  For more information about it, click here.

Don't want to take the offer?

That is perfectly fine!  This blog is most certainly not just all about some offer.  Given time it will be full of useful information.  I do recommend taking any kind of training you can get online, but how much you look for is up to you.  Good luck,have fun, and..
