PRE-SEASON WARM-UPS
Get back on the ice. Shake off the rust. Get ready for hockey season.
Warm-Ups are optional pre-season practices for registered Beaver Dam Hockey players. They give players a chance to get back on the ice, reconnect with teammates and coaches and start working on their skills before regular season practices begin.
What to Expect
Warm-Ups are designed to get players moving and comfortable on the ice again. Sessions may include:
- Skating and edge work
- Stickhandling, passing and shooting
- Skill stations and drills
- Small-area games
- Plenty of puck touches
The focus is on development, repetition and having fun on the ice as players get ready for the season ahead.
WHO CAN ATTEND?
Warm-Ups are for registered Beaver Dam Hockey Association players and are divided by age level.
Warm-Ups are optional. We know the end of summer is busy, so players are welcome to attend the sessions that work for their family.
Why come to warm-ups?
After a summer away from hockey, a little extra ice time can help players:
- Get their skating legs back
- Build confidence before regular practices begin
- Refresh hockey skills
- Reconnect with teammates
- Meet coaches and other players
- Get excited for the season ahead
A Note about player development
Our coaches use age-appropriate development principles throughout Warm-Ups and the regular season, including skill stations, small-area games and activities designed to give players more touches, movement and opportunities to learn.
These methods are based on USA Hockey's American Development Model (ADM), which emphasizes age-appropriate training and long-term player development.
SCHEDULE
Warm-Ups begin in late August and continue leading up to the start of regular season practices.
