PLAYER DEVELOPMENT
At PMCHA, we’re committed to helping every player reach their full potential — both on and off the ice. That’s why we’ve partnered with Inside Edge, a premier hockey development organization, to offer targeted training opportunities throughout the season.
From power skating to puck control, and advanced skills like dekes and dangles, Inside Edge delivers high-quality sessions designed to build confidence, sharpen technique, and elevate performance. Whether you're looking to fine-tune fundamentals or push your limits, there's something for every player.
Stay tuned for upcoming development dates and registration details for fall 2025 — and get ready to take your game to the next level!
GOALIE DEVELOPMENT
Under the design of our Pirate alumni, Austin Caktas, these sessions are for all age groups. Groups will be created based on skill level and experience. Those just trying it out for their first year or goalies with more technical experience will get better with this extra training. Austin has done our sessions for years and works with many of our Rep teams. His team of instructors can make improvements no matter the age of level of goalie looking to improve.
Areas of focus are mobility, positioning, proper save recovery, visual tracking, stick work, puck handling, and game situation awareness. Come on out and improve your goalie game. (U11 and U13 goalies registered will be able to join the Friday FORWARD and DEFENCE camp when needed at no extra charge)
