U9-U12 Elite Development Program

Niki Petti

This program is designed to build the foundation every young elite player needs to succeed long term.

At this stage, development isn’t about doing more, it’s about doing things the right way.

We focus on:

  • Proper skating mechanics and edge control

  • Advanced puck control and stickhandling techniques

  • Shooting fundamentals and scoring habits

Every drill is taught with purpose, ensuring players understand how and why they’re executing each movement.

By building correct habits early, players gain confidence, improve faster, and begin to separate themselves from the rest.

This is where future high-level players are developed, through detail, repetition, and elite instruction.
