Off-Ice Training In addition to 2.5 hours of daily on-ice instruction, students participate in an extensive off-ice program which focuses on conditioning and agility training, specifically designed for the needs of young hockey players. Players also participate in motivational seminars that key into important off-ice skills such as visualization and goal setting. A nutritional seminar is also given so young hockey players understand the importance of a healthy diet and hydration. Off-Ice Training The Okanagan Hockey School Skill Center focuses on shooting and is used daily by all groups at the OHS. Players work on their shooting and puck handling skills at the Okanagan Skill Center on our synthetic plastic surface. Nets, radar guns, shooter tooters, pucks, targets, stick handlers, slide boards and ball machines for the goaltenders are all teaching tools and equipment used in the Skills Center.
