Choice Super Checking

Hockey is a Contact Sport

We can ignore the fact and attempt to shield young athletes from the physical aspect of the game. But, does this protect them? Or, does it set them up for future injuries by not preparing them fully for the sport?

Choice Super Checking embraces the full game of hockey.  The goal is to prepare athletes to be safe, confident, and skilled in all aspects of the sport including checking. 

WILL YOUR ATHLETE BE READY?

Advantages: Why Checking Now?

  • Safety! Safety! Safety!
  • athletes are closer to the same size and weight at this age which reduces the chance of injury
  • at younger ages the speed of play is slower also reducing the risk of injury
  • athletes are less aggressive at younger ages
  • players get a head start on checking and angling techniques giving them an edge in future competition
  • athletes learn to make plays faster producing quicker reaction and playmaking ability 
  • dedicated, season-long, checking training helps athletes avoid dangerous situations

Super Checking I

  • for athletes in their 1st season of checking
  • primarily 10 & 11 year olds
  • must have strong skating & stickhandling skills
  • athletes must be evaluated 

Super Checking I is based on the philosophy that training athletes at younger ages leads to better competency, a more confident and controlled athlete and decreased chance of injury. This level starts with a thorough checking clinic and has on-going contact training throughout the season. The checking training is a complete and well defined progression with a strong emphasis on protecting and preventing injury.

Super Checking II

  • for athletes in their 2nd season of checking
  • primarily 11 & 12 year olds
  • must have developed skating and stickhandling skills 
  • evaluation is required

The goal is to prepare these players to be safe, confident, and able to compete within a few, short years against top athletes in Bantams and High School. A comprehensive, progressive approach is used to teach proper checking technique. The season begins with a thorough checking clinic and continues with ongoing contact training throughout the season.

Super Checking III

  • for athletes in their 3rd season of checking
  • primarily 12 & 13 year olds
  • all athletes must be evaluated
  • must have ability to play heads up hockey

This is full checking development with the overall goal of training safe, confident athletes with the skills to be able to compete with the best Bantam, Midget and High School players in the state and country. Hockey is a global sport and the bar is constantly being raised. For the potentially elite level player, the skills to compete in all areas of hockey including the physical game must be developed.
