Build Smarter Defenders. Create Confident Competitors!


Give your player the edge with our Angling & Competitive Contact (ACC) Clinic. It is designed for Squirts and PeeWees who want to sharpen defensive skills and physical play, without full-body checking, while understanding how to compete using competitive contact.

This clinic focuses on effective angling techniques across the ice. Players learn to control opponents and win puck battles through clever positioning and timing, rather than relying solely on size or strength.

Players will learn to apply angling in:

  • Forechecks & backchecks
  • Loose puck races
  • Board battles & corner play
  • 1-on-1 defensive situations


As confidence grows, we add age-appropriate contact drills that simulate real game pressure. These help players safely adapt to physical play and get ready for body checking at the Bantam level.

Boost game awareness, defensive IQ, and physical confidence!


No In-Net Goalies for this clinic.



Angling & Checking

This essential clinic is designed to prepare players for the physical side of the game with a strong emphasis on safety, technique, and confidence.


We start by reintroducing angling, the foundation of defensive play. Players learn to apply it in all three zones. Then, they progress to controlled body contact at low speeds and finally to full checking, all in a safe, structured environment.


Players will learn:

  • How to angle opponents into disadvantageous positions
  • When and how to initiate body contact legally and safely
  • How to absorb and avoid checks while maintaining puck control
  • Game-readiness through situational drills and body positioning


Perfect for players transitioning into or adjusting to contact hockey
