Skating that Translates

Instructor: Ben Payne

Ben Payne and PH Development provide a unique service that focuses on skating movements and patterns that are utilized in the game today. It’s imperative to find the game connection in our skating and at PH Development sessions. Power Skating and edge work are game specific focusing not only on the “HOW” to effectively Skate but the proverbial “WHY.”

The game of hockey is predicated on reoccurring movement patterns. The more times players are put in game like environments in practice and development sessions, the higher probability for a high success rate when they encounter these situations come game time.

Players must be able to identify the game translatable component. These movements not only require a high level of physical skill and technique to execute, but a sense of understanding of the significance behind the movement patterns.

Skating That Translates takes power skating and edgework one step further. Skating Development and Hockey IQ rolled into one program. Full hockey equipment is required.

Puck Skills

The puck skills program is meant to develop multiple aspects related to the handling and movement of the puck.  This class will provide sequential advancement of ability from the very basics to elite dependent on the players’ current state. With the correct drills the player develops new dexterity in their hands as they are asked to put the puck in new positions of reach, with different areas of the blade, and with new levels of speed. This also increases overall stamina in the muscles used in these hand skills. As the player advances in ability they will be introduced to different situational moves such as 1 on 1 plays off the rush, out of corner, opening up shot lanes etc. Overall the player develops a completely improved feel for the puck as the connection between their hands, stick and puck is dramatically increased. Full hockey equipment required.

Open Hockey

Open Hockey is one of the greatest features of being a member at NSWC.  In Vancouver, we aren’t given the opportunity to play pickup pond hockey very often or have empty arenas where kids can just step on the ice in the old barn when the rink guy gives us a spare key but at NSWC we have the next best thing, Open Hockey. 

Open Hockey is our member’s opportunity to play, practice and enjoy hockey in a non-structured capacity.  We have the skills ice, fondly referred to as ‘The Tube’, which is almost always open, or a random sheet of ice that happens to be free, Open Hockey allows members the chance to skate, shoot and play without coaches or teams organizing the session.  Whether a player just wants a few more reps for 5 minutes after practice, or wants to shoot pucks for an hour instead of watching their siblings ice times, Open Hockey gives them an opportunity that doesn’t exist in a traditional Minor Hockey organization.

Every participant, regardless of age, must wear a helmet and any player under 18 must be in full hockey gear.

Division 1

Division 2

Men’s Division 2 is the same format as Division 1 where it offers friendly rivalries, good competition, and a draft each year; however, the pace is slightly slower. This is the division that is best suited for those who don’t want to be playing with skaters coming out of Minor Hockey! Division 2 also welcomes all new players to come out and play. The league averages six games a month, typically every Sunday and on two Wednesdays.

Annual All Star Game

Every Super Bowl weekend, the NSWC organizes multiple All Star games on the Friday to showcase the numerous talented members who play in our league. This fun night includes a buffet, drink specials, exciting hockey games to watch, and an overall good time!
