Program Options

Since every team’s strengths and weaknesses are different, Weiss Tech Hockey offers many different Team Consulting services. Coaches can request Coach Weiss to focus on Power Skating, Timing Concepts, Team Systems, Offensive and Defensive Tactics, or Off-ice Video Analysis and Chalk-talk.

After an initial evaluation of the team, the coaching staff and Coach Weiss will determine together what areas of the game the team should be working on. Generally, the main focus of these sessions will be Individual and Team Skills, unless otherwise requested by the coaching staff, in which case we will focus on the areas recommended by the coaches.
