We have been running 6AM Shooting practices for U13 kids for a couple of years now on Mondays and Thursdays at the Richmond Ice Centre and Minoru Arena for advanced shooters that want to get their reps in.
The practice is always the same. We start with accuracy shooting and practicing keeping our head up and eyes on the target. Then we do some angle shooting followed by some quick release shots off a pass. We always do some backhand shots either with a deke or driving to the net. Towards the end of the practice, we focus on snap shots and changing the angle of the shot. Then finally we work on slapshots and one-timers... so it's important that every player is capable of taking all these types of shots before signing up.
This practice is not technical. Although there are some brief demonstrations by Coach Andre, it is designed for lots of reps, building strength and shooting at high speed. If a player is struggling with the technique of any shot, they are encouraged to sign-up for private lessons at Slapshot Alley to learn the proper technique.
As of March 1, 2026, we currently have 4 players on Mondays and Thursdays with a maximum capacity of 5 players, so there is room for one more player on each day. If you are interested, please send us a message slapshotalley7@gmail.com
