Rationale:

This course has been designed to allow motivated and goal oriented student athletes the opportunity to supplement their minor hockey experience and improve their hockey skills during the school day. The average 14/15 year old minor hockey player averages between 1.5 and 2.5 hours of practice time per week. Due to the necessity to develop systems of team play during that practice time, minimal amounts of time are available to spend on the development and enhancement of individual skills. Taking advantage of the local ice that is unused during the day, this course affords students the opportunity to develop their individual skills that will enhance their enjoyment of the game.

Students will record their training in journals and these journals may be used for their Graduation Transitions Program.  By having students actively involved in the sport of hockey, during school hours will help generate school spirit and help develop positive attitudes towards school in general. Further, by increasing skill development, students will enhance their potential for enjoyment in a sport that will keep them physically engaged and help to maintain a healthy, positive lifestyle.
