🏒 NEW THIS FALL — SUNDAY NIGHT DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMS

We’re changing the way we train on Sunday nights at STL Hockey Training.

Instead of trying to work on multiple skillsets every week, our new Development Programs give players five weeks focused on developing one specific skill set.

Each week builds on the last — giving our coaches time to teach, correct, add progression, and help players improve.

5 Weeks. One Skill Set.

Programs begin September 13 at Webster Groves.

Every Rep Coached. Every Skill Improved.

Registration is now open 👇

Each Development Program focuses on one core hockey skill, allowing players to build confidence, develop proper habits, and make measurable improvements over five weeks.

Face-offs aren’t just about the center.
All 5 guys need a plan.
Know your role before the puck drops—or you’re already behind.

Most defensemen kill the play the second they touch the puck.
Why?
Because they stop.
You can’t generate offense if your feet stop moving.
You can’t stay connected to your forwards if you’re stuck.
The key is defensive footwork — specifically the cross-under.
As you’re skating backwards and receiving that puck, you have to keep your momentum.
Cross under → stay moving → now you have options.
Now you can:
Move it D-to-D
Hit your forwards
Stay part of the offense
If you stop… the play dies.

Most defensemen kill offense without even realizing it.
They sit at the blue line… move side to side… and wonder why nothing gets generated.
If you’re not moving, you’re not part of the play.
We teach our defensemen to move in a rectangle — down to the top of the circles, across to the wall, and back up to the blue line.
Now you’re involved. Now you’re dangerous.
Movement creates options.
Options create offense.
If you’re standing still… you’re easy to defend.

STOP Standing Still — You’re Making It 5 on 4

This is why your team can’t generate offense.
If you’re a defenseman and you’re standing still at the blue line… you’re not helping—you’re making it a 5 on 4.
Most players think their job is just to hold the line and move side to side. That’s not offense.
If you’re stopped, you’re dead.
Watch the difference when the defenseman actually moves, stays involved, and creates options.
Train smarter. Play faster.

Rule #1 of a zone entry:
Enter the zone.
Too many players try to make moves right at the blue line and kill the play before it even starts.
Puck carrier — your job is simple:
Make the defenseman choose you.
Away from the puck:
Spread out
Stay in your layers (low, middle, high)
When it’s done right:
One drives the net
One supports high
You create a clean passing lane into a shot
Simple structure → scoring chances.
