Graeme is currently the only skating and skills coach in the world who has played, coached and taught at every level of hockey there is.  From youth hockey to the Canadian Junior Hockey ranks to NCAA Div. 1 College to Europe to the NHL, Mr. Townshend has the experience to know what truly works and what does not work. "One of my most frustrating experiences was being taught in college by a guy with a figure skating background who had no idea of the challenges I was facing on the ice. I've seen some things being taught (that really do not work) by other nationally known instructors who have absolutely no practical playing experience." says Mr. Townshend.

Scoring: Puck protection, accuracy, power and selection, deflections and rebounds and more

Every child learns at a different pace and in different ways.  That is why we employ Graeme Townshend's inovative
5 E's of Hockey education, which is based on the time tested building block format.  Each skill set is taught in incremental building units using the 5 E's philosophy.

 

Explain: Our professional hockey educators first fully explain the drill being taught.

Example: We then will give a real example of where the skill can be used in a game.

Execute: We will then execute the drill to demonstrate the proper performance of the skill.

Evaluate: Our staff will then evaluate each students performance, stopping and correncting along the way.

Excel: Throught constant repitition the students will excel at the newly learned skill.

 

 

Because of my unique background and current position in the NHL, I am able to gain access to the latest techniques to improve todays player, something that truly no other hockey school can claim.  I have been trained by some of the best the game has ever seen, I know what works and what does not work today.
