The Northern Edge/Champlin Park Holiday clinic was a huge success! Over 100 kids from Mites to Bantams participated in our first ever holiday clinic. The level of training was a welcome challenge to many of our skaters looking to take their game to the next level. There were lots of very sweaty kids with big smiles - congratulations on showing Northern Edge how hard the Champlin Park hockey players can work!<br /><br /> We will have more opportunities for the Northern Edge professional staff to work with our teams yet this season. Look for them to participate in our Fall Skills clinic and a week long camp starting Monday August 3rd. In addition, parents can find information on other Northern Edge programs on their website, www.neehs.com. <br /><br /> Gordy Littler <br /> CPYHA President
From MN Hockey:
To help coaches and players with USA Hockey's new progressive checking model, Minnesota Hockey Coach in Chief Hal Tearse walks players through examples of legal and illegal body contact along with on-ice drills in videos for three age groups: squirt, peewee and bantam. The bantam video is new and all are sure to be helpful.
