INVITE EMAIL

Andrew and Anders,

 

For the past 15 years FHIT Hockey has helped young people to learn, develop, and advance to the next level in hockey and life. Last year was our first year at our Plymouth Ice Center located between Rink B and C. The expertise and experience of our staff has created an exceptional environment for our members and we are excited to bring our unique programming to the Plymouth area. We are happy to invite you to experience a snapshot in a day in the life of a member (workout, skills classes off-ice shooting and stickhandling, and on-ice) offering expert coaching, in a competitive and fun environment all under one roof! 

 

This Presidents Day (February 17th, 2020) we are offering a FREE training/game day to any squirt that is looking to enhance their game and continue to develop as a person. We will only be accepting the first 24 skaters and  4 goalies that sign up.

 

 Click Here to sign up and lock in your spot. 

 

Day will start at 10am where we will have ice on Rink C where FHIT coaches will be running kids through a Hybrid On-ice session. As always a MEGA Goaltending coach will be on-ice to work with the goaltenders.  Afterwards, players will be able to experience an 30-45 minute off-ice skills session with our certified FHIT coaches. While parents are invited to stay check out the facility and ask any questions they may have about the program.

FOLLOW UP EMAIL AFTER IT’S ALL SAID AND DONE

Players & Parents,

 

 Thank you to all that attended our first ever Presidents Day Squirt Skate! When you try to do something for the 1sttime you never exactly know what to expect. That being said, Monday definitely exceeded our expectations; from the attendance, to the skill level of the players, and how coachable the players were during the session. For those that were able to stay for the meeting, you were able to learn more about our program. For those that didn’t; what we did on Monday was more of a snapshot of what we actually do on a Day in the life of our members. Typically the first 20 minutes we would break down a skating aspect (Forward stride, backward C cuts, cross overs, pivots, etc.). Second 20 minutes would be skill based (shooting, deception, puck support, passing, odd man situations, etc.) Last 20 minutes would be games (small area games to full ice). Off-ice skills our instructors work on 30 minutes of stickhandling and 30 minutes of shooting techniques. Finally, the off-ice workout will be basic fundamental movements and overall building of athleticism. 

 

The Squirt group will start their program on June 8th. And will run 4 days a week Monday-Thursday in the summer. And 2 days in the fall; all after school. Currently, we have limited spots left in that FHIT squirt group. We wanted to give the attendees the first opportunity to register for the Program. We have a solid mix of A level players from various surrounding associations that are already set to train in the summer of 2020. 

 

If you have any more questions or would like to register for the program, please let us know.

 

Thank you,

 

Mariah
