DEVELOPMENTAL HOCKEY LEAGUE
The 2008 DEVELOPMENTAL HOCKEY LEAGUE will be embarking on an improved
concept of more practices/instruction (8), while keeping consistent with the
number of games (14) we have had in past years.

We feel that this is ultimately a developmental league, and the extra team skill
development time will develop hockey skills in your players as well as teach them
team strategies and fundamental skills that they will incorporate to have success
with during game-time situations.

Each level will now consist of 5 teams, with a maximum 15 skaters and 2 goalies on
each team. PHS will allow the first 75 skaters and up to 5 to 10 goalies at each level,
and cut off registration when full. Registration Fee $200.

     IMPORTANT- We ask that you do not request a particular team or player
     placement. We will however accommodate families and place siblings on the
     same team. Also, if you have siblings in different levels, we will place them
     on teams with the same "team name", so they can play on the same nights
     ...that way you are not at the rink every day of the week. We may consider
     placements do to ride sharing for players that live approximately 50 or more 
     miles away from LaCrescent.

       classifications: you must first contact the league manager for prior registration approval.



                                                         



ADVANCED TRAINING CAMP - FULL
The 2008 ADVANCED TRAINING CAMP features power skating; shooting & scoring
techniques, creative stickhandling and innovative passing drills. At the Group 2
Level, (97, 96, 95's) we will also place a very high priority on body-checking
instruction, including how to give and take a body-check. We will demonstrate
the dangers of checking along the boards and help players better understand
preventative methods to avoid serious injury as a result of giving or receiving a
body check.

The ADVANCED TRAINING CAMP will meet daily for two weeks, with 2 hours of
instruction per day. This will be more of a hockey school/camp atmosphere at a
more affordable price, and with less players on the ice... which in turn means,
your player will get more repetitions and opportunities to master skills.

At PHS, our player's On-Ice development program is based on high expectations,
positive reinforcement, specific instruction, and high intensity sessions. We
constantly challenge our players and expect them to work outside their comfort
zone, focusing on improving during each drill. A combination of low work to rest
ratio, efficient ice utilization, positive reinforcement and high intensity is used
to challenge each player to strive for maximum overall improvement.

Our Off-Ice development (hockey specific strength & skill training), will incorporate
skills needed to be a complete hockey player. Shooting & Passing Stations, Puck
Control Circuits, Striding Boards & Hockey Systems & Strategies will be the main
focus of our dry-land program.
