DEVELOP AND TRANSFER!
With our latest partnership with Edge Boss Hockey, you can be assured that not only do we have the expertise and teaching methods to get you where you need to go, but also the tools & resources. We find the Edge Boss products very helpful during the skill building process as they allow for a lot of function and variety.
It is no secret that the skill development industry is a fast-evolving and innovative business. Our promise is that at CrossIce, we have the cutting-edge knowledge, and will invest more time and effort in to you than anybody else will, to teach and apply the material we are working on.
Some skills/tactics that we emphasize as part of our program:
- Weight Distribution, Balance, Posture
- Edge Discovery/Control
- Acceleration & Separation Speed
- Changes of Direction, Transitions, and Deceptive Skating
- Stride Mechanics- Efficiency and Power
- Checking & Defending- stick & body positioning, angling, stick checking, body checking when applicable
- Passing/Puck Movement Skills and Tactics
- Puck Control, Placement, and Protection (good hands are often misrepresented in the skill development industry!)
- Fakes and Deception
- Shooting Mechanics and Goal Scoring Tactics
- Play Processing Speed
- Situational Awareness and Game Intelligence
- Positional-Specific Deception & Skills
One of our signature services is the use of game video analysis. However, we also love incorporating the use of live video analysis while we work through specialized skill work on the ice- for immediate player feedback, visual learning, and to break down the issues at hand in great detail! Clips and analysis are then sent to the player to review upon completion of the skate.
