Spring Hockey School

2026 Pasadena Maple Leafs
Spring Hockey School
Our Program: Technical - Tactical-Transferable
Our purpose of Spring is to be obsessed with development all while fostering joy and love for hockey.
​
Technical phase: focuses on fine tuning physical skills such as skating, shooting, passing, puck handling, and contact.
​
Tactical phase: focuses on the technique of frequent game situations such as angling, board battles, timing, scoring, and defending.
​
Transferable phase: teamwork in preparation for a Memorial Day Tournament!
​
Though skills will be slowed down and taught in each phase (hockey school style), the majority of the Spring development will be done through decision making heavy games.
​
Decision Making Heavy Training and Why?
1. Decision making is the biggest separating factor of players who make higher ​levels and those who don't.
​
2. By strategically placing randomness in drills and constraints in games, we can distort the game and drills to cause more frequent recurrence of desired learning situations. Thus, it allows players to recognize and make great decisions in important game situations.
​
3. Studies show adding randomized patterns or what we're calling 'decision making drills' contribute to better learning retention, better game application, and more athlete engagement.
​
4. More compete+more engagement=more fun

Training agenda (8u-14u)
​
Our Three-Phase Approach
Our curriculum is broken down into three distinct pillars designed to build well-rounded athletes:
-
Technical: Mastering the fundamentals and physical movements.
-
Tactical: Applying those movements within specific strategies.
-
Transferable: Putting it all together with teamplay.
​
Technical Phase:
Practice 1: Edges and Battles
Practice 2: Stride and Speed
Practice 3: Puck Control and Deception
Practice 4: Contact
Practice 5: Shooting and Passing
Tactical Phase:
Practice 6: Angling and Gaps
Practice 7: Scoring
Practice 8: Puck Possession
Practice 9: Wall Play and Board Battles
Practice 10: Timing
​
Note: While all age groups follow these core themes, every practice is specifically tailored to match the age and skill level of the players involved.
Gamedays:
Roughly every two practices, we will host a Gameday! We’ll run high-energy 3v3, 4v4, and 5v5 scrimmages on cross-ice and full-length. These sessions are designed to be fast-paced, high-repetition, and—most importantly—a total blast for the players.
Decision-Heavy Training
You’ll notice several "competitive battle" drills throughout the spring. We call this Decision-Heavy Training. By adding different setups and pressure to our drills, we ensure that the skills learned at the start of practice actually "stick" when the game gets intense.
