Manchester Storm Academy is delighted to confirm that the Monday morning skating and stick handling session is here to stay.

A month ago the Academy experimented in running a session between 6 and 7am on a Monday, focussed on the technical side of skating and stick handling. The second block begins on Monday 14 October and runs until 4 November.

Head coach Nick Crawley has been running the training: “The inaugural early morning session block has been a resounding success. Attendance has been good and the input from the players has been great to see.”

“I can see the extra ice touch really bringing on the depth of strength within some of the players’ stride already, and this is just after four sessions.

“The last two sessions have included more stick handling development as well as skating strength. Kev Cassidy has brought strong support to the programme with some creative drills that are challenging and really test the players comfort zone. The next block will continue along this theme as it brings good variety and fun.”
