Player Development

The Polar Bear organization is committed to the individual and team development of our players. Our coaches focus on player development through high-level training and competition.

Across all teams, all practices are largely focused on skill development with a progression towards building a higher hockey IQ and situational awareness. Sessions maximize repetitions and puck touches and challenge players to work outside their comfort zone at a high intensity. Some of our more advanced teams will have a greater attention to systems and executing strategies that prepare them for the next level.

Goalie specific training is provided to our full season netminders 3x per month. They will work with our goalie coach in a small group/ private lesson format during team practices.
