Next Level Skills 3v3 Offensive Challenge
At the Hamden Ice Academy
Mites 8 & Under /Squirts 10 & Under/PeeWee 12 & Under
May 18th – July 23, 2009
Next Level 3 on 3 Offensive Challenge-it is a great time for competition and enhancing skills. As you know playing on a small ice surface develops quick reaction, gives players more touches of the puck and helps with skating skills by quicker stops and starts. The 3 on 3 is a unique brand of hockey, which allows for quicker games and faster action that's played on a smaller ice surface. This in turn promotes our goal of good old-fashioned fun and at the same time develops a higher quality of skill level and play.
