with Bob Montrose,
Owner of Peak Performance Training Camps;
former John Marshall/Lourdes (MN) HS Girls Head Coach;
Back-to-Back-to-Back Big 9 Conference Champions (2014-16)

Give your team a chance to develop at a high rate by using every inch of the ice and having fun while learning in different hockey skills stations!

Inside this video, Peak Performance Training Camps' Bob Montrose includes a look at some of the great skills sessions from his camp. You'll get activities that work on offensive tactics, defensive tactics, and some great competitive drills. Montrose shows exactly how to keep all of your athletes on their toes and having fun while learning essential hockey skills at the same time.

On the Whiteboard, On the Ice

Coach Montrose starts at the whiteboard to describe what each drill is, how the drill relates to the game, and how the drill will be performed. Then he moves to the ice with players who demonstrate each drill. When needed, Montrose stops, resets the drill, and adds his thoughts on how the drill correlates to the real game. Perhaps most impactful is Montrose's method of organization on the ice, which can save your program time and money (especially if you have to rent out time on the rink!).
