The summit is based on the material in the National Coach Mentorship Program (NCMP) and information from Hockey Canada. The specific skills that will be taught during the summit include:

• Creating Offense
• Developing Defensemen
• Puck Control/Skating
• Creating thinking/Small Area Games

 

Coaches will be placed in groups and instructed by BC Hockey trained course conductors, Hockey Canada representatives and special guest coaches. Each group will attend on-ice sessions, classroom sessions and observation sessions.

 

Delegates who successfully complete the Skills Summit will receive coach credits that will be recorded on their Hockey Canada Registry (HCR) portfolio. Please note that delegates are responsible for their own accommodation and transportation.
