McGill Martlet Hockey

Programs

Overview

Skill level of the participants of the Martlet Hockey School will vary from developmental in which the basic skills and principles used in the game will be the main focus to advanced where elite female players will work hard to push themselves in a competitive environment.  The more advanced group will serve as a great conditioning tool to prepare the athletes for the upcoming season.

All participants of the Martlet Hockey School will be placed in one of three groups according to their skill level.  Initial placement will be based on previous team played and age level.  At times, placement can be changed for some participants in order to make sure that everyone reaches their potential.

Goaltender Option

In today’s female game, goaltender development has become extremely important, yet is an area that is constantly neglected.  The Martlet Hcokey School has developed a goalie specific program that will allow each goaltender to develop all aspects of her game.

During each morning ice session, goalies will have specific time where stations are utilized to cover all aspects of the position throughout the week.  In addition, off ice specialists will work with the goaltenders to improve their power agility, speed and coordination.  Martlet Assistant Coach Amey Doyle (also Martlet Goalie Coach) will oversee all goaltender sessions with the help of former and current Martlet Goaltenders.

Mental training is crucial to becoming an elite level goaltender, and we therefore will have position specific mental training sessions to help each goaltender with goal setting, routines, imagery, focus and concentration.
