About the Core Skills Clinic
The OBHL Core Skills Clinic is for beginner to lower-level intermediate adult skaters. The coaches reserve the right to remove any player from the group if they deem he/she is not a good fit for the group. This is a session for people to learn and grow with players of similar skill, not for better players to show up and flex on people that are of lesser skill than them.
Core skills that will be covered throughout the season are:
- Basic Rules (Offsides / Icing Penalties / etc.)
- General Strategies
- Shooting
- Passing
- Stick Handling
- Skating (Forward / Backward / Transitions / Crossovers)
- Offensive / Defensive / Neutral Zone Play and Systems
- Forward-Specific and Defense-Specific Strategies
- Powerplay / Penalty Kill
- Faceoffs
- and more…
The Hammersnow Cup
The last session of the season is where you get to put all your hard work and new tools to work where you, and your designated team will compete for the Legendary Hammersnow Cup of Eternal Glory. There will be refs, scorekeepers, announcers, an MVP trophy, and custom team jerseys.
