Peewee Select, 2018-2019 (Newmarket Minor Hockey)

Challenging players to push themselves past their comfort zone was front and centre as Newmarket Peewee Select tried out sledge hockey.   The first challenge was getting strapped into sledges, learning how to stay upright - and recover quickly after inevitable tumbles. Players and coaches had their core strength and balance tested.  

Peewee Select was thrilled to be part of the NHL Alumni vs. Law Enforcement game in support of the Special Olympics. The players began their day with an on-ice clinic led by 4-time Stanley Cup winner Mike Krushelnyski and Stanley Cup winner Bryan Muir. The clinic included 2-on-1 and 5-on-2 drills. The team focused on breaking out of their end, transitioning to attack in the offensive zone, entering the offensive zone with speed, and remembering to spread out wide with one player attacking the net and another player staying high. We look forward to seeing these strategies demonstrated ...
