Designed to simulate, teach, and strengthen a player’s skating and stickhandling motions within the Forward Stride, FWD C Cuts, and BWD C Cuts, while developing Core Strength, and use of Vision- both primary and peripheral. 

The Arrowed Lines are brought down from the VertX Hockey Training System, and placed in the middle of the board for players to practice what is learned in the V.H.T.S applied to P.T. Stickhandling System, including The Wrist and Backhand Shots.

Designed to simulate, teach, and strengthen a player’s ability to control the puck for Forehand Dominant Stickhandling, Puck Protection- both Forehand and Backhand; Proper Wrist Action, while strengthening hands, wrists, and forearms.

Designed to simulate, teach, and strengthen a player’s ability to control the puck on the forehand and backhand of the blade for proper wrist action, lateral weight transfers, vision, FWD Press Hockey Stance with proper knee bend and knee action.

4 sections. As a pattern, it is designed to further promote all biomechanics and techniques of other drill designs; thus, acting as a blend of varying drills bolstering all motions, stickhandling techniques, core strength, and vision.

Designed to teach, develop, and strengthen proper use of the top hand supported by the bottom. This is Important for all players to understand the differences in usage to strengthen Stickhandling, Shooting, and Passing techniques.

Designed to teach, develop, and strengthen a player’s Top Hand (Proper) Grip and Wrist Action to, then, understand the differences of shaft movement (oscillation) in the bottom hand when stickhandling. The student is taught and educated to analyze how the Bottom Hand compliments, supports the action of the Top Hand in 3 Categories of Shaft Movement in the Bottom Hand:

1. Unlimited Shaft Movement.
2. Limited to No Shaft Movement.
3. No Shaft Movement. 

Therefore, in understanding the ‘Feel’ of Shaft Movement in the Bottom Hand supporting the action of the Top Hand will enhance varying creative stickhandling techniques; will  develop more leverage over the puck; and, determine how the bottom hand can compliment the top hand with varying levels of power in supporting the motion(s) of the top hand.

Understanding the 3 Categories of Shaft Movement in the bottom hand that occur within varying stickhandling techniques is brought to all stickhandling designed drills that comprise the P.T. Stickhandling System for improved on ice stickhandling techniques.  

Designed to teach, develop, and strengthen a player’s sense of touch in distinguishing the feel of the puck on the heel, cradle, or toe of the blade when stickhandling and shooting.

Designed to simulate, teach, and strengthen a player’s skating and stickhandling motions when Protecting the Puck with bodily position between puck and opposing player. Included are One and Two Handed Stick Carries within Puck Protection drills.

3 sections. Designed to simulate, teach, and strengthen a player’s ability to control the puck on the forehand of the blade to further Puck Protection techniques, Puck Control of Forehand Passing techniques, further influencing proper technique in Receiving Passes.

Designed to simulate, teach, and strengthen a player’s ability to learn and properly execute Forehand Toe Drags, as most students do not understand proper technique.

Designed to simulate, teach, and strengthen a player’s ability to learn and properly execute Backhand Toe Drags, as this is a very difficult stickhandling technique; but is very useful if mastered in certain creative stickhandling sequences on the ice.

Designed to simulate and teach the technical steps and nuances to developing Proper Saucer Passes.

Develops use of Primary and Peripheral Vision when playing hockey. At certain intervals practicing the designed drills, the player is taught to look up thus teaching a player how to use their primary and peripheral vision interchangeably.

In which the foundation is the Lateral Weight Transfer for proper athletic muscle memory and motions that are applied to Skating, Stickhandling, Shooting, Passing.

Within ‘The Motion of Hockey,’ it promotes Proper Degrees of Knee Bend and Knee Action within the Lateral Weight Transfers for Skating Motions- Forward Stride, FWD C Cuts, and BWD C Cuts applied to Stickhandling, Shooting, and Passing.

Develops and provides a Full Body Physiological workout in the lower and upper body for increased strength in Skating, Stickhandling, Shooting, and Passing. And provides a Cardio Workout at the same time!

Spinal column (approximately 75-80 degrees) and knee bend angles (100-110 degrees)

Weight Distribution brought more forward starting from the front of the feet to the start of the heels within the FWD Press Hockey Stance.

Promotes proper shaft angles when stickhandling and shooting congruent to Proper FWD Press Hockey Stance while simulating on ice skating and stickhandling, and/or shooting techniques.

Promotes proper blade angles directly correlated to proper shaft angles influenced by developing and strengthening usage of proper Wrist Action; which directly promotes, influences, develops, and strengthens all Shot techniques: Wrist, Backhand, Snap, and Slap Shots!

Proper grip with top and bottom hands, angle to wrist of top hand, and develops a congruency between angles of top hand/forearm and shaft of stick, as the shaft is usually an extension of top hand/forearm.

In which the foundation is the Lateral Weight Transfer for proper athletic muscle memory and motions that are applied to Skating, Stickhandling, Shooting, and Passing.

Within ‘The Motion of Hockey,’ it promotes Proper Degrees of Knee Bend and Knee Action within the Lateral Weight Transfers for Skating Motions- Forward Stride, FWD C Cuts, and BWD C Cuts applied to Stickhandling, Shooting, and Passing.

Teaches varying widths to the Lateral Weight transfer applied to Skating, Stickhandling, Shooting, and Passing with proper knee bend and knee action.

Teaches proper spatial differences between the blade and puck when Stickhandling via the Stickhandling Pivot Zone to be practiced within all stickhandling drills; proper spacing between knees within FWD Press Hockey Stance; proper spacing between hands on the shaft in Stickhandling and Shooting.

Teaches proper use and development of the top and bottom hands within varying techniques for improved puck control.

Develops and provides a Full Body Physiological workout in the lower and upper body for increased strength in Skating, Stickhandling, Shooting, and Passing. And provides a Cardio Workoutat the same time!

In developing the neural pathways equally between the right and left side of the brain; so that command of the body is accelerated via the brain being equally developed for improved control in all areas of athleticism applied to playing hockey.

For proper fundamentals. Avoids misinterpretation in learning and developing execution of proper fundamentals and biomechanics; and, prevents misinterpretations of improper fundamentals and techniques being thought of as being properly practiced.
