CONSULTING vs Hockey School
Sean Skinner and SKINNER
HOCKEY no longer conducts traditional hockey schools
with open registrations. Sean believes that
the hockey school model is flawed and that there is
a better way to teach players. SKINNER HOCKEY
provides consulting…we send one highly trained
professional to teach training session sponsored by
hockey teams, associations, clubs and/or
international federations. Here’s why:

HOCKEY SCHOOLS
Traditional hockey school
format is not effective for these reasons:
 | Hockey schools are filled with players from
a wide age range. For example, 8-12 year olds
are on the ice together.
|
 | Hockey schools are filled with players from
a wide skill level. For example, beginning
recreational players with AAA players.
|
 | Hockey schools do not involve the local team
coach or clubs coaches. The coaches of the
players teams are not at the hockey camp so even
if the hockey school was great and helped change
the players skill level they would quickly lose
those new skills if the drills are not repeated
and since the coach is not their the drills will
never get repeated.
|
 | Players don’t always work hard for a hockey
school instructor because there are no
consequences. If the team or club coaches are
involved then they know if they don’t work hard
they will lose ice time.
|
 | Hockey schools are so expensive because of
the cost to fly in and accommodate additional
staff. These costs of hotel and accommodations
are not directly related to improving the
player.
|
 | Ice rental cost more for the out of town
renter. This extra cost is paid by the
participant and is another cost not directly
related to improving the player.
|
 | Lost of money is wasted on advertising,
soliciting individual registration. Team
registration reduced cost and time.
|
 | Cost of hockey school is usually $100 more
than a Consulting session.
|
 | The local team or club gets nothing out of
the hockey school. |
CONSULTING
Here at Skinner Hockey we believe in a better
format…CONSULTING…where a team(s), hockey club or association hires SKINNER
HOCKEY to run week long training sessions for their own players and coaches.
Here’s why:
 | Players are skating with their teammate of
the same age.
|
 | Players are skating at the own level whether
that is beginner, recreation, travel,
compeditive or highly compeditive AAA.
|
 | The local coaches or team coaches are
involved. They come out on the ice and assist
in teaching the players and there by learn how
to teach stickhandling themselves. The coaches
hear the explanations and learn new drills. Now
when the players go back to their team practices
they can repeat these new movement patterns.
Think about it even if a player goes to a good
hockey school where they learn new skills, if
those movement patterns are not repeated then
they will loose the skills quickly. By training
the coaches at the same time we are training the
players we are ensure the skill development will
stick. |
 | By involving the team or club coaches the
players now have to work hard or they will lose
playing time.
|
 | Ice rented by the local team or clubs is
cheaper per hour than for an out of town
renter. No need for expensive advertising it is
all done internally in the club or with the
team. Finally, no money is wasted on
accommodations and airfare for secondary staff.
Here players are only paying for a top
professional coach.
|
 | Club or Team registration reduces the cost
and time of advertising.
|
 | Cost is usually $100 less than your regular
hockey school.
|
 | This session could be used as a fund raiser
for the local team or club.
