ADM - The OLP program has implemented the
USA Hockey American Development Model (ADM) for the mini-mites this year. You
can get all of the information you need at www.usahockey.com
or http://www.admkids.com. In a nutshell,
we are going to half ice practices for the season. The first five weeks of the
program serve as a training camp to teach age-appropriate skills to players and
as an on-ice training session for coaches. The model is based on small-ice
games in a fun, age-appropriate and competitive environment that maximizes ice
time, increases puck possession time, stimulates creativity and enhances the
fundamental skill development of each player. Weekly practice sessions focus on
fundamental skating and puck skills using skill stations and small-ice games.
The arena has a great set of mid-ice boards that will be installed for practice
and games.
