Connor Carrick's Off Ice Shooting Camp

Participants will focus on how to more quickly organize the puck on the players blade in order to better be able to play heads up hockey, maximizing play making ability, minimizing injury risk. 

 

Shooters will work to create habits to better deceive the goalie by learning to make our shot release harder to pick up. Shooting velocity and technique to create proper torque to consistently score will be coached and practiced. 

 

Finally, the most underrated and under developed skill of backhand play will be developed as this truly is a separator as players climb the hockey ladder from youth to junior to college to pro to the NHL.

Connor Carrick’s Defense Camp 

Defenders in today and tomorrow’s NHL are asked to be more dynamic, athletic, and crafty than ever before. With that in mind, Fifth Third Arena is proud to partner with Connor Carrick to introduce this one-of-a-kind Defense Camp!  In this camp, players will develop habits that will and have translated into the NHL already.

 

All the skating coaches in the world are of no assistance if a defender does not understand the proper angle needed to see both their check and the puck carrier. We will teach our defensemen how to maintain proper angles and athletic postures in order to best get the puck back. 

 

We will work on settling the puck as quickly as possible to maximize vision and poise while minimizing injury risk. Elusiveness will also be worked on daily as all the skill blends in the world can be boiled down to one thing: Hockey is one big game of keep away. On the defensive side, stick detail is one of the most lacking skills amongst young defensemen and is one of the easiest areas of a player’s game to improve. 

 

Our defensemen will constantly be reminded of the importance of the “good ice” on the rink and we will help them feel more comfortable defending from the middle out. Offensively, we will do the opposite by trying to grow poised in the middle of the rink to create offense. Good defense is about learning to get the puck back and then jump starting the offense. We will not complicate the game past this vital point.
