Power Player I   Draft Choice has created the power player program to replace our European Power skating program. This program is designed to bring the player's personal skills to the next level. The program entails various skating techniques with and without the puck, agility, balance, shifting, shooting, transitional strides, acceleration, stopping, angling, and bumping ("power position"). There are also new elements such as endurance, speed techniques, and game situation zones for offensive and defensive concept development.

This 30 hour program allows the instructors to really get to know the students and help each student reach a new level of game. Techniques and Drills are designed for the Student to go beyond their "Comfort Zones".

Power Player II  has the same program focus, but at a much higher tempo. This program is for the student that has completed Power Player I, and has received a high grade point average on their report, or has been recommended to this program by a Draft Choice Instructor.
 

Total Two Way Defense Camp

Ask any coach what they look for in a hockey player. Most will say a total two-way player who possesses good offensive and defensive skills. Unfortunately many players don't have enough opportunity to work on these specialized skills. Our goal at Draft Choice Hockey is to help the player become the best Defenceman/ Defensive forward possible. This program works on Defensive positioning, 1 on 1's, 2 on 1's, back checking, pivoting/checking, agility, balance, pinning and shot blocking. We also emphasize pinching, jumping up in the rush, escapes, fake shots, and reading the play with the hope of turning a nothing play into a great scoring chance. As well as making the first pass....& much more.

This course makes a player more aware of all areas on the ice. It will make the player more valuable to their team. A coach is looking for a low risk player to put on the penalty kill, and/or the last few minutes of a game, and a good quarterback for the power play. Make sure you are the player that gets that extra playing time!
 

The Scoring Leader

This program is designed for the player that has trouble finishing the play. This camp will review and improve the puck handling skills learned in our creative puckhandling camp. It is an advanced level camp stressing offensive play. The skills emphasized are good positioning, stationary and motion passing, shooting (wrist shots, backhands, slapshots, one timers, snap shots), fakes shots with lateral movements, deking, tips-ins, and rebounds. The students will be taught individually, in small groups, and learn with full ice game situation drills. As well we will be working on various skating techniques with the puck. There is always time to help a student get it right. Our low student/ instructor ratio allows us to do so. Draft Choice Hockey has developed some unique teaching methods that will help to make average scorers become great goal scorers.

Creative Puckhandling

This program is the next step for the student after attending our Power Player I camp. Here is where the students learn to use instinctive deking and shifting movements in a lateral motion. Very few programs and coaches will teach these specific, complex movements. Draft Choice prides itself in knowing that all these moves will not only be taught but demonstrated properly as well. One foot shifting, one to two hands puck protection, one to three move combinations, one hand and two hand acceleration, power turns and outside quick feet crossovers are just a few of the manoeuvres that will be covered. As well as teaching all the moves the students will also be walked through various game situations and directed as to how to escape with the puck using these instinctive deking moves. This is a one of a kind class!

Mississauga Acceptance Program

Draft Choice for the first time is offering an ELITE program for a select
group of players who truly want to develop their personal skills. This 30
hour program will be designed around the following elements of creating 
The Complete Player:
-Skating and Puck Control Supremacy
-Power Position Fortification using On-Ice Equipment
-Conditioning and Acceleration
-Thinking Agility (Read and React Drills)

It is advised that any players wishing toparticipate in this superior program must have previously attended a DCH Summer program.

This will be our 6th year offering girls-only programs. In the
Windsor/Detroit area we conduct a highly skilled individual skills
building Power Player II camp for girls 10 to 19 years of age.
In the Toronto/Brampton area there is a choice of either our
Total Two Way Defence Camp or our Shooting & Scoring Camp. 

If inspired to really learn and develop attend both programs for the full day.
Last year was a huge success, again, in both locations.

This year DCH will be offering two Cross Ice "3 on 3" mini-games. DCH
players will have an opportunity to use their personal skills, build team skills, increase stamina, and most of all showcase their talents. There will be 4 teams of 9 players and each team will have 2 goalies. The players will have 1.5 hours of ice time daily for 5 days.

The Top Pick Mini "Games" Camp

This is our most popular camp! This high intensity comprehensive mini camp combines the skills and concepts of all our specialized camps. This camp has been very successful in the past, and could make the difference for you. If you are someone who wants to score some goals, be a better skater and puck handler, use some European On Ice Training Equipment for development, and play a lot of different "FUN" games that our Physical Education teacher instructors have designed, then this program is for you! It is a must for the individual who wants to raise their level of play to the next tier and experience something different with a smile!
