Orono Youth Hockey

We have teamed up with Sweet Hockey Training. This online video training module will be available for one full year as part of the player registration fees. We are utilizing this program because to offer this program it will make our hockey players better!! 

 

During practices, there isn’t time to spend on stationary stickhandling work. Sweet Hockey is a way for players to have a specific, progressive training program to work on this skill set. Each drill has a video demonstration that will show the player proper technique, posture, and an explanation of how this drill can be utilized in the game of hockey.

 

To access the video library, login with the same NGIN account used to register. The link to Sweet Hockey will appear on the top navigation. From there you can link to the videos, training plans or Chat with Lance.
