Elite Hockey Development

Elite Hockey Development

Elite Hockey Development (EHD) was formed to help develop each player’s skating and skills giving them a better understanding of the game of hockey.

At EHD, we believe that proper INSTRUCTION, TECHNIQUE, and REPETITION, along with our creative teaching methods, are the key towards each player’s overall development.

Our staff is committed to ensuring that all players receive detailed individual instruction during all programs to get the maximum learning experience allowing them to leave our camp feeling positive and confident.

Our EHD programs are sure to fulfill the needs of all players, regardless of their ability level. Our instructors take great pride in teaching from a player’s perspective, developing each individual player to achieve their highest standard of play. We look forward to working with your child to help them to get out of their comfort zone, expand their limitations, and be the best they can be, while having fun playing the great game of hockey.

Introductory Skill Clinics

The Rinks at Exeter is pleased to offer
Spring/Summer Skill Development Clinics for Mites thru Bantams and Girls U-10 thru U-14 playing levels.

Each program focuses on the importance of mastering skills through proper instruction, repetition, intensity and most importantly, consistent practice. Unlike most summer development options that try to improve players over a 5-7 day period, our specialized clinics will run weekly, ensuring that skills are instructed and mastered through consistent practice over an extended period of time.
