The KIIH Checking & Battle Camp Clinic is for hockey players transitioning to their first year of Bantam this spring and fall or looking to improve their body contact skills. This is a pivotal opportunity for both players and parents alike. Focused on bringing awareness to participants of the techniques of checking, the primary objective is to ensure a safe and informed integration of this essential aspect into the game. Instructors will guide players through proper checking techniques, draw attention to potential hazards, and emphasize correct navigation strategies to protect themselves.
The clinic aims to establish a comprehensive understanding of permissible actions during checking, while also addressing prohibited moves. With a dedicated focus on safety, the event includes controlled-contact battle drills where players can apply and refine the techniques they've learned. This initiative provides parents with reassurance, alleviating concerns about the potential challenges their children may face, and instills confidence that both players and parents are well-prepared for the forthcoming Bantam season and the introduction of checking to the game.
*We encourage participants to find skaters of similar size and age to pair up during these sessions.
