Here’s a question:  Do you want to play the game or do you want to have an IMPACT on the game?  

 

This years program will be for birth years 2002, 2001, 2000, 1999, 1998, 1997, 1996.  The Impact Hockey Program (Formally Team Excel) will enhance your puck skills, shooting and scoring techniques as well as make you a more powerful and efficient skater.  The patented Hockey Treadmill will be used to focus on your skating efficiency and power.  We will be using the same format as we use in the summer during our Pro and College Impact Hockey Sessions.  In the summer months we work with Peter MacArthur of the Chicago Blackhawk’s and World Champion U20 Gold Medalist Bryan Lashoff and other pro’s and college Division I players in the same setting.
