Dangles & Dekes Camp

Take your puck control to the next level with our elite Stickhandling, Dangles & Dekes Clinic. This program is designed to help players develop "soft hands," lightning-fast reaction speeds, and the confidence to navigate through tight traffic. Through technical breakdowns and high-repetition drills, we focus on the art of deception, puck protection, and the creative skills needed to beat defenders in 1-on-1 situations.

Coaches: Peter Sejna, Jamie O'Leary, Chance Ubel

Eligible Birth Years: 2008 – 2017

Daily Schedule

• Classroom Instruction: Tactical breakdowns and video review to understand the "why" behind creative puck movement and deception.
• Off-Ice Training: Dry-land drills to build hand-eye coordination, wrist strength, and range of motion before hitting the ice.
• On-Ice Session: High-repetition drills and situational gameplay to apply concepts in real-time. Drills and progressions will be adjusted according to the age and skill level of the players to ensure optimal development for every participant.

Key Teaching Concepts

• Fundamental Puck Control: Mastering top-hand control, wide reach, and the "soft touch" required to handle the puck at high speeds and under pressure.
• Deception & Fakes: Learning to use head, shoulder, and eye discipline to freeze defenders and goaltenders before executing a move.
• Puck Protection: Utilizing body positioning, angling, and "under-handling" to shield the puck from poke checks and maintain possession in tight spaces.
• Creative Deking: Training specific high-level moves (dangles) to beat defenders 1-on-1, including toe drags, backhand-to-forehand transitions, and slip moves.
• Escaping Traffic: Developing the agility and spatial awareness to navigate through the neutral zone and execute creative plays in the offensive zone.
