About the Clinic:
At Yale Youth Hockey Clinic children will learn the fundamentals of skating that are needed to develop into a hockey player per the American Development Model set forth by USA Hockey. Times will be in the AM on Saturdays and Sundays from the beginning of October. Some clinics may be in the early afternoon too.

With a reasonably consistent attendance your child should positively develop their skating ability and with some desire, be able to go on to the next step. Children will also have stick time in the clinic at Yale as well. They will be taught some fundamental puck handling skills and shooting skills and will also break out into cross ice games frequently in a house league format. There is also room for advancement to our travel and light travel teams so that players will end up in the best place possible for their overall hockey and skating development.
All clinic skaters are required to wear full hockey gear from head to toe. Many of the local hockey shops have beginner packages that are both new and used. The coaching staff at Yale can also consult with you if you are unsure of what to purchase. See below for descriptions of hockey equipment.
We all look forward to seeing you at the Yale Youth Hockey Clinic the year.
