  Hockey Jump Start  
With a focus on skating skills.
Get ready for next season.
   
Spring/Summer 2008  - Rockland  

 

First and foremost, the number one skill that hockey coaches look for in hockey try-outs is skating. That will be our primary focus. Learn from the top Professionals. The Winterland Coaching Staff have had years of experience teaching edges, turns, stops, starts, balance, control, and all the skills you will need to be a stand out on any team.

Congratulations to Nicole Donato! 

 Nicole was recently awarded a hockey scholarship to Milton Academy for next season.  Nicole, 14, plays for the Bay Sate Breakers and Duxbury Youth Hockey.  Nicole and her sisters, Kathleen and Payton, have participated in the Hockey Jump Start program the last couple of years.  Her Dad, Chris, is one of our instructors. Nicole is an inspiration to all of our young hockey players.  

Best of luck Nicole!

Bobby Hayden, Nicole Donato & Chris Donato
