PROFESSIONAL HOCKEY TRAINING

Our goal is to provide additional hockey development training advancement opportunities to athletes and teams within their current model. To create a passionate long-term partnership with the familiar mission of the high-level on-ice training approach that will be a display and will go beyond our mission from youth to pro hockey levels.

Our Goal

Kern Hockey provides athletes with on-ice professional training and expert instruction, combined with in-game drills. Our staff is trained to identify, demonstrate, and verbally break-down modern hockey terminologies and techniques in real-time.

We are focused on implementing the foundation of overall skating and skills so that athletes can learn the specific techniques, terminologies, and skillsets to apply in a drill, and ultimately that transfers to their gameplay. By focusing on age-appropriate critical skills and specific techniques every player should be learning something new.

Breakdown

The development process must be broken down and articulated properly to show players exactly what needs to be learned and addressed. By correcting Individual player habits and techniques (both good and bad) we are providing players a strong learning foundation.

 Specializing in teaching all skill sets; power skating, stickhandling, dekes, puck protection, shooting, passing, and in-game situational drills. We are passionate about monitoring and developing athletes at all ages and levels (youth to NHL), and proud to bring the most up-to-date hockey instruction. These elite training methods and innovative hockey developments brings the base-line skill level of the next generation players to another level. Our passion is training the newer generation of hockey players the “NEW” game of hockey. All of our coaches are USA Hockey certified and registered with MN Hockey.
