Hockey InitiationInstructors: Stowe Youth HockeyThe Hockey Initiation Program now includes the Cross-Ice curriculum. This program places appropriate emphasis on skill development for each individual player in an efficient, age appropriate manner. By establishing a solid skill base, while keeping the travel and participant cost under control. The general organization for Hockey Initiation is to break the rink up into smaller areas with multiple stations and focus on hockey skills, maximizing touches on the puck, team work and fun. Cross-Ice games are played by teams formed with two or three units of three to five players and one goalkeeper, which results in each player having more ice time.
