Coaches: Brett Wojtkowiak & Matt Wilson, Chris Stahl

Defensive skills training is geared to focus on the skills and technique to be a great defenseman. Each class will have a different focus, with an emphasis on footwork, stick-work, and take-away checks. Every few weeks we’ll bring offense and defense together to implement live drills (contact and non contact).

  • Skills-Driven, Small Groups:
    Our small group setting ensures defenders receive individualized attention, focusing on game-specific skills like stick checks, slides, and recoveries.

    NCAA-Experienced Coaches:
    Our defensive coaches have NCAA experience, providing expert guidance to develop effective, confident defenders ready for any challenge.

    The Importance of Consistent Training:
    Defensive success depends on repetition and focused training, building critical habits like positioning, footwork, and communication over time.

    Limitations of Club Practices:
    Club sessions often focus on team defense and large group drills, leaving limited time for individual defenders to hone their specific skills.
