Player Evaluations

As part of our Coach Mentoring service, we'd like to share with you our Player Evaluation Guide that you can use to evaluate the skills of your hockey team.  

As a coach, I conducted individual player evaluations which resulted in an overall team improvement. With over 40 skills used in a game, it’s important for a player to know which skills they need to work on. Identify these now so you are ready for the start of the hockey season. Do it again in November so you are ready for the playoffs in January.

If you are in York Region, Ontario, our 16’ x 32’ Super-Glide synthetic ice rink is ideal for you to evaluate stance, starts, stride, turns, passing, shooting and puck control for players and reaction and recovery skills for goalies. The rink can handle up to five skaters and one instructor at one time. 

After your evaluations, please look at skill development centres in your community where you can send the team or make a recommendation to the parents as to where they could send their son or daughter for training. It’s important to correct those bad habits with experts.

Once the player receives the proper training, they can practice those skills at home over and over again.
