Total Skill Development

Developing the Complete Hockey Player! Our program offers the most complete & intense training system around, drawing on traditional European methods to help students improve individual skills such as skating stride, agility, balance, edge control, body control, stickhandling, passing, shooting and battling.

Individual Skill Development

Defensive Skills/Battling

Our Stickhandling/Shooting session focuses on helping students become more confident and creative with the puck and increase their playmaking abilities. First, we teach students the proper wrist roll, hand extension, and flexibility skills they need to control and shoot the puck. Students then learn proper stick handling techniques through focused instruction and innovative stationary drills that are repeated until students master them. Finally, we incorporate speed and teach students a variety of one-on-one maneuvers that can be used in game situations.

Stick Handling

Our Defensive Clinic will help our students, both forwards and defensemen, learn the importance of defensive responsibilities. This camp will emphasize keys to becoming a better defensive hockey player, such as body positioning, learning the d-side of the puck, stick positioning and gap control. The skating emphasis will include backwards, pivots/transitions, and angling. All players will engage in a variety of battling drills where they are encouraged to be more confident and aggressive in these game type situations.

Shooting

We also break down the techniques students need to develop more power and accuracy while shooting. We teach the wrist shot, snap shot, and backhand and slap shot. We also emphasize weight transfer, body control, flexibility, and accuracy to enable students to become more efficient with every scoring opportunity.

"I attended Erik Nates Euro Hockey every summer, first as a camper and eventually as an instructor. The lessons Erik preaches are extremely useful and have helped me tremendously in my development. I owe a lot of where I am now to Erik and Erik Nates Euro Hockey"

"I’ve been working with Erik a few years now and have nothing but positive things to say. He has significantly helped me improve my shot, and has helped me achieve career highs. I couldn’t be happier with the results I’ve had since working with him."

Brett Pesce

EURO HOCKEY ALUMNI

"I started skating with Erik when I was about 6 years old. Always dreaded going to his camps, but so glad I did because I wouldn’t be where I am today without him. He is always so dedicated to his camps and getting each player better when they hit the ice. The environment in his camps are exciting and challenging, which only makes each player get out of their comfort zone. He builds the complete player and puts a strong emphasis on skating, stick handling & shooting. If any player is looking to improve their game, I highly recommend Erik Nates Euro Hockey. #Traintobethebest"
