Player Development Program Philosophy

No better time to get ahead!!! Off Season Training Opportunity!
Player Development Program Philosophy
Development First – Pelham Hockey Development Academy is based on the athletes overall on
and off-ice development first.
The players will receive age and position specific training and skill based high tempo training
both on and off-ice with our coaching staff.
This program is for all MITE, SQUIRT, PEE WEE, BANTAM and 18U Levels.
Ages: 2014-15 Mite, Squirt, Pee Wee and 16U/18U Players (Exceptions can be granted for
specific players wanting to participate at certain levels. Please contact Randy Murphy,
Program Director
All Pelham Hockey programs continually strive to develop all players to move on to the next
skill level.
This comprehensive, fast paced, and fun Spring & Summer Training program will prepare you
mentally and physically and increase your individual and positional skills for early summer and
fall try-outs or to keep you on your skates over the summer. Take your game to the next level!
The spring & summer season is ideal to work on individual skills such as power skating, stick
handling, shooting, body checking and passing. Specific training during every practice for
defenseman, forwards, and goalies tailors these individual skills for each position. All players
will practice, compete and develop with age appropriate and “like” competition through ice
division and utilization. Areas of concentration will focus on small area games and skating!
