Program Renewed for 2006/2007 Season !

As a result of the success of this years' program, Oshawa N.A.S.C. Hockey is proud to announce that we will be offering again next year with our hockey program, focused goaltender instruction clinics.

Without doubt, the most common complaint we've heard over the past couple of years is from the parents of goalies at all ages and skill levels. Their observation is that their kids receive little or no instruction on the ice during practices. Just like the pitcher in baseball and the quarterback in football, the ice hockey goalie plays an individual game within a team sport. He is the key player who must be confident and focused for the entire time of a game. This confidence and focus can be supported and improved by good skating and mechanical skills, proper timing, and superior eye-hand coordination. However, focused instruction in this area is lacking.

In recognizing this, N.A.S.C. Hockey is pleased to announced that we are offering a *NEW* program included with the cost of registration.

Commencing in October through February, once-a-month, N.A.S.C. Hockey will be providing "goaltender only" clinics to ALL N.A.S.C. registered goaltenders. Goaltenders at all levels of play (Novice 7 to 14 years old) are invited to attend these free clinics. The clinics will be run by Mr. Tim Brooks, certified on-ice instructor.

In order to facilitate the running of these clinics, we will be looking for volunteers to assist in the shooting drills. We will be looking for Bantam and Midget aged players to help. Volunteering for these clinics will assist in fulfilling "high school aged" kids trying to fulfill their 40-hour requirement.

If you are interested in volunteering, please click the link below and provide your name, phone number, park association and age level.

It is our intention to accommodate all volunteer requests, however depending on response, we may not be able to.
