On-Ice Training
Through our collective experience at the junior, university, and professional level, as well as decades of coaching and instructing experience in the United States, Canada, and Europe, we have designed a ‘Total Skills Development Training Model’. Below, we have provided a ‘sample outline’ of a typical on-ice session at DHD. For more information on your age group and camp, please scroll down for specific details as well as a sample syllabus and practice plan.

Total Skills Development Sequence
(Technical Skills & Individual Tactics)
|
Skating, puckhandling, passing, and shooting are the fundamental skills required to play the game of hockey. Our Total Skills Development Sequence will isolate these fundamental skills by breaking them down into component pieces. Starting with the most essential technical hockey skill (skating), our staff members will work with our students creating a solid technical foundation for any hockey player, mite through pro.

Part II (Multi-Tasking Drill Sequences: Technical Skills, Individual Tactics, Team Tactics and Concepts, Small Area Games and Team Competitions)
|

|
12 min.
|
High Tempo Flow
|
Creative drill progressions specifically designed to develop technical skills, individual tactics, and team tactics and concepts. Infused with High Speed, High Intensity, and High Energy, these drills are all game like, challenging, and fun.

|
25 min.
|
Multi-Tasking Drill Sequences
|
During this sequence, participants are divided into groups and train at specific stations on the ice. Each station will include a multi-tasking drill and progression (ex. puck protection and individual battles, puck support, timing, etc.). All multi-tasking drills will have a core focus on skating, puckhandling, passing, and shooting.

|
Small Area Games & Team Competitions
|
Team play and concepts using high tempo drills for a short duration with a high number of repetitions. Players are forced to use time and space, read and react, work on fundamental skills, and make appropriate decisions with and without the puck. Challenging, competitive, and fun -- confined skills development training replicates a 'real' game scenario. Additionally, this is a great way for our participants to have fun and create team unity and friendship through competition.

- Each DHD camp is designed using a progression format. We feel this format is critical in the development of all hockey players. The first half of every ice session is devoted to fundamental skill development (technical skills and individual tactics). By isolating specific movements, we break down these fundamentals creating a solid foundation for any hockey player, mite through pro. During the second half of every ice session the more tactical aspects of the game are covered. Initially, the focus is on more complex individual tactics, but as the week progresses, more in – depth team tactics and concepts are discussed.
- The progression, complexity, and speed of our practice plans are dependent on the age and skill level of our participants.
- The above sample outline of a typical on-ice day assumes a two hour session in our summer camps.
- We strive to design our curriculum and practice plans around keeping our goaltenders active and engaged in all training sessions.

As part of our integrated Total Skills Development training curriculum, our participants are divided into two teams during the course of our weeklong camp. During the week, teams compete in skills competitions, small area games, relay races, high intensity scrimmages, and dryland training. However, no other event or game creates as much intensity, energy, passion, and excitement as The "OV" Cup.
On the last day of each DHD camp participants play for the prestigious "OV" Cup. The "OV" Cup is regarded as a prized piece of hardware and serves as extra incentive and 'bragging rights' to those who are fortunate enough to win it. Each winning team hoists the cup followed by team pictures, a victory lap, and time in the dressing room with players, friends, and parents.
Will you be the next team member to hoist this cherished piece of hardware?
