Can you sense how much your young hockeys are improving already? In this section of your Training Plan, Coach Patrick Burke teaches basic stickhandling drills that will help your players get comfortable with the stick in their hands. It is important to teach them these basics skills because they will use them on all levels of their hockey playing careers. Follow these drills and your players will be able to skate around the ice and start to make plays with their sticks.
