Eagan Hockey Association

Player Development

GOALIE PARENT / GOALIE / COACH MEETING

Sweet Hockey Training - - is the first of its kind, web-based video
teaching platform. There are two (2) parts to the program that all
players and coaches will have unlimited access to.

*OnlineStickhandling*- - Think of onlinestickhandling as a virtual stick
handling hockey school, where players and coaches will have unlimited
access to 20 different stick handing lesson plans or homework
assignments. Each drill will have a detailed explanation and
demonstration of the exercise. Watch the videos, print off the plan and
start practicing. This can all be done at home and at times that work
within each player’s schedule. OLS provides the structure and purpose,
but the success of the program comes down to the self-motivation,
commitment and time spent on improving. All they’ll need is access to
the internet, an area to practice (8’ x 10’ is plenty of space), their
stick, gloves, ball or puck and a willingness to put the time into
getting better.

*Technical Skills Drill Archive*- - Coaches and players will have
unlimited access to our long-term technical skill development drill
library, concentrating on how to teach technical skating (both forward
and backwards), on-ice stick handling, agility, use of jump ropes and
how to teach shooting. There are over 400 different drills to assist the
coaches within your program in teaching these fundamental core skills.
As an association, we are all trying to find ways to better educate
coaches, develop players, make it a fun experience and keep everyone
coming back year after year.

Sweet Hockey training is open to all players and coaches in EHA. 

There is no fee to complete this registration. Immediate access is granted upon completion. Each player participating for the 2011-12 season needs to be registered.   GO TO: http://eha.sportngin.com

*Frequently Asked Questions????*

    1. *How do I gain access? *An email will be sent to you with your
       username, password and all the information you’ll need to know to
       access the content. You will be also asked at this time to opt-in
       to Sweet Hockey Training regular newsletter/email blasts that
       provide tips, updates and information on how to best utilize this
       program and content. We encourage each of you to do so. **

    2. *How much will this cost?* There is no charge to association members.

    3. *How long does each lesson plan take to complete?* Each plan takes
       approximately 20-25 minutes to complete. Players are encouraged to
       do each assignment 3-5 times per week before moving on to the
       following plan.

    4. *As a coach, how am I suppose to use this?* As an association, we
       want to have consistency in what’s being taught at all levels. We
       want everyone to recognize the importance of long-term skill
       development and commit to doing some of the drills in the archive
       for 15-25 minutes of each practice. The rest of the practice you
       are free to do what ever you feel.

    5. *Why are we doing this program?* *_Visual Learning_* - 65% of the
       population are visual learners. They need to see how something is
       done in order to learn something new. There is nothing that we’ve
       found that can effectively educate coaches in how to teach the
       technical part of the game from the written word. Each drill in
       the coaches’ video drill archive is explained in detail and then
       demonstrated. Coaches watch the drill, see how it’s performed and
       then are better equipped to explain and have players execute on
       the ice. The same concept applies to how the online stick handling
       is taught to players.

    6. *Who do I contact if I have questions*? Derek Shepherd at shepd3@aol.com and
       Lance Pitlick at lance.pitlick@sweethockey.com
