Summer Skills at Casey Park

Hello WYH families,

Summer Skills at the Casey Park outdoor rink will begin Tuesday, 7/18.  The program is run in association with the WHS Boys Hockey Coach Vlachos and his players.  There will be six sessions in total. Mites will play at 6 pm, Squirts at 7 pm, and PeeWees at 8 pm. Please bring sticks. Hockey gloves are optional, but recommended.

Dates: 7/18, 7/25, 8/1, 8/8, 8/15, 8/22

Additional Info:  For those of you that are new to the program, the summer skills sessions are a chance for the kids to get together with their teammates and work on some fundamentals. We will be shooting pucks off of plastic mats to simulate ice and working on passing and other drills with balls. This is not roller hockey and skaters should come in sneakers and be prepared to run around. If possible, bring both a "good" (on ice ready) stick for use with the shooting mats and an old stick. The good stick is key for shooting development and the older stick can take the beating of the concrete rink surface during other drills and game play. Most street hockey sticks are too flexible and don't work as well with real pucks.

Casey Park is located at (124 Watertown St, Watertown). Please reach out to Sara or Dave with any questions.
