B2B - TRY OUT PREP/PRE-SEASON

ICE TIME SESSIONS at NoCo Ice Center

NCYH x B2B Athletics: 2025 Pre-Season & Tryout Prep

These are the reps that build real confidence. Train with purpose — and show up ready to make a statement.

• Ages: Open to birth years 2016 & OLDER

Your player gets one shot to show up ready.

The coach’s first impression. The confidence in their stride. The puck touches that set them apart. These sessions are more than just drills — they’re designed to prepare your player for the pace, pressure, and in-game problem solving. Because when the puck drops, you don’t get time to think — you react, decide, and play.

• 2 hours of high-rep, high-speed skill development
• Edge work, full range of motion movement and strides
• Explosive starts and quick-twitch skating
• Skating alignment and power angle for top speed
• Game-speed puck handling and deceptive shooting
• Puck protection under pressure
• Resistance-based skating for stronger in-game performance

• Players who want to walk into tryouts feeling ready, not rusty
• Athletes who want to separate from the pack early
• Skaters looking to build decision-making confidence under pressure
• Players who want to lead the play — not chase it
• Must be able to perform backward crossovers

Still deciding? Ask yourself:

• Will your player be the one setting the tone, or trying to keep up?
• Do they have the decision speed and confidence to stand out?
• How will they respond under pressure — with hesitation or instinct?
