Format:
- 30 minutes of skills training
- 1-hour 4-on-4 game (with push-ups for bad habits!)
Accountability Rule:
- 30 minutes focused on skill development, conditioning, battle skills and puck protection. 1 hour 4 on 4 game with push-ups when players lose focus and make mental mistakes:
  1 – not giving puck away, always control
  2 – busting your butt to and from bench
  3 – proper angling when fore-checking, no big circles. They stop you stop!
  4 – staying at net after shot for rebound and not going for a big skate
  5 – work on defensive play and positioning in defensive zone with and without the puck
  6 – bad angling, always force opponent to the board
- Passing to the wrong team or giving the puck away? 5 push-ups!
- Focus on control and making every pass count.

Once the schedule and groups are confirmed, I’ll post updates on bramhockey.com.

I’m currently offering game analysis sessions, where I’ll attend your child’s game and provide detailed feedback on their performance.

Position-Specific Analysis
- For defense: gap control, stick positioning, 1-on-1 battles
- Identifying positional mistakes (e.g., being on the wrong side of the puck in the defensive zone)
Post-Game Breakdown & Guidance
- Immediate feedback on my coaching board while it’s fresh in their mind
- Personalized improvement plan for on and off the ice
Follow-Up Report
- You’ll receive an email summary of everything we discussed

For more info and pricing, contact Bill at Bill_bram@hotmail.com.

I hope to finalize everything by the end of February, so if you’re interested, please get back to me as soon as possible.

Call me at 204-381-7400 if you have any questions.

Looking forward to another great season!
