News Flash - Corey Neilson named Panthers Head Coach
Hockey is changing. No longer is it a game of "big guys" clutching and grabbing for their share of the ice but a free-flowing game of speed, knowledge and skill. As a pro hockey player of 10 years, Corey Neilson has gone through the necessary training and coaching to adapt to the new game so he knows the most effective steps to becoming "current" with the times. To adjust for these new rules, Neilson Athletics Inc. has compiled the most up to date hockey training programs and we want to share that knowledge with you. Neilson Athletics Inc. has long specialized in footwork and puck skills which are the foundation to success at the next level.
Attention to all you parents in Orangeville, Caledon, Shelburne, and surrounding areas. Why drive that hour to Brampton or "The City" when Neilson Athletics Inc. is right here on Hwy. 10 just south of Hwy. 9? Not only that, we're still in the game. changing with it and adapting to the new style. We've adapted our coaching to meet the needs of today's game. Here at Neilson Athletics Inc. we're committed to developing the hockey player right here in our community. Not only are we shaping our youth but we do consulting work with our local coaches so that they can continue the work we started throughout the season.
Our on-ice programs have become known for their intensity and attention to detail. Our emphasis is doing individual or small group drills that incorporate skating and puck skills at the same time. We train players to skate with speed into turns and pivots all the while keeping their head up so as not to miss the oncoming pass. Fundamentals are key to performance and all groups, including our Junior Development Program, are brought back to those basics in order that those basics can be executed with speed in game situations.
For those who want more than a weekly clinic or league training we have developed an awesome Semi-Private Hockey Training Program. Corey Neilson and staff work alongside the small group (5-6 max.) of aspiring professionals to hone their skills. This small group training is the absolute best hockey program offered in our area for puck skill and skating development. On-ice, Dry-land Training, and Video Analysis are core elements to this program.
Off ice conditioning is another key to performance. Training like a body builder or distance runner isn't going to cut it. Hockey players have to train like hockey players and this is where I come in. Corey Neilson has gone through vigorous personal instruction from NHL teams and he knows the most up to date "hockey specific training techniques" as well as the dedication it takes to succeed in a game where the difference between making and not making the team is measured in preparation and work ethic.
We have been using the training facilities at Teen Ranch for a number of years. The ice is always prepared prior to our training sessions which gives the player confidence and agility on a newly conditioned surface. The size of the Ice Corral with all of its facilities makes it the perfect training facility. Our Programs for 2006 are starting to book, please contact us to discuss your personal requirements and how we can either fit you into one of our member programs or have an individual program created for you.
