BWHS

This years format will be the same basic high tempo skill and high repetition focused approach. There will again be a few minor changes to this year's edition to ensure the best learning experience possible.
The focus on skating in the morning and puck skills in the afternoon will continue with an emphasis on proper execution and with significant repetition to reinforce muscle memory. Hockey is played at a high pace and habit rules over thinking 90% of the time.
The school will run from Aug 18-22, 2008 at Brentwood Arena, Northmount Dr & 35st NW. We hope Minor Hockey Week went great and wish everyone a super finish to your season. We will see you this summer!

August 18-22, 2008 Brad Werenka Hockey School
CAMP AGENDA

This will be the 5th Annual Brad Werenka Hockey School and will be held at Brentwood Arena, Northmount Dr & 35st NW. The school is open to ages 6 - 14 of all skill levels (age exceptions within reason may be made). Participants are grouped according to skill level and age. Start time is between 8-10am and spans an 8 hour day till 4-6pm.

THE PROGRAM
The on-ice program features approximately 2.5 hours of instruction per day and focuses on skill analysis and development. The off-ice program consists of specialty skill development, physical conditioning, cross training and a 30 minute classroom format covering several topics including hockey talk, nutrition, leadership, persistence and team building.

POWER / SPEED SKATING
It is difficult to overstate the importance of strong skating skills to a great hockey player especially in the "New NHL". This increased focus on skating has influenced all minor hockey players as Hockey Canada has adopted and emphasized the new rules.
Based on this new emphasis on skating we will again dedicate the 1st ice session of each day to skating. We will apply the same progression (with a few tweaks) to specifically address each skating component. Running through a circuit of skating skills each day over a week is the best opportunity to establish positive habits and muscle memory in a young developing skater. We are excited to apply the new format and see the results at the end of the week.

CHECK IN
Each participant will get his/her jersey and details for the week on Sunday August 17, upstairs in the Brentwood Arena, Northmount Dr & 35st NW.

CHARITY GAME
Although we took a hiatus from the Staff/Celebrity Charity Game we hope to bring it back stronger and better than ever. At the end of the camp our staff and a few special guests get to strut their stuff all in the name of fun and for a worthy cause selected each year. All participants and families are welcome to cheer on some familiar faces and support the chosen charity.

FRIDAY
Friday August 22, 2008 will be an opportunity for the kids to show off their new improved skills in a show case game. We will again have a 3 on 3 cross ice round robin format with bragging rights and prizes.

AWARDS
We will again have daily and weekly prizes for those participants who display an excellent work ethic and superb sportsmanship. The effort, camaraderie, and overall attitude were exceptional last year and we expect no less this year.

HOCKEY PLAYERS OATH
At registration we ask all participants to read and sign this oath.
