Pond Hockey

The traditional spring/summer league hockey format offers approximately 10 games where each player gets about 8 shifts/3-5 puck touches/2 shots/ per game and competes against players of wide ranging skill levels.

This is why we offer our “pond hockey” sessions. They consist of one hour of continuous 3-on-3 hockey in a cross-ice format (3 ZONES) and small area games.

We believe this format is not only more fun, exciting and different than traditional spring/summer hockey… but hands down more beneficial for developing one of the KEY ingredients in a hockey player – “hockey sense.”  Hockey Sense cannot be taught, it is developed by your child on his or her own.  We believe the best way players attain this skill is through small area games where players are forced to make quick, smart decisions under pressure.

Top Shelf is very excited to offer this and has found it to be an absolute BLAST for the kids!
