West Fargo Hockey has an opportunity to introduce AA hockey into our Association at the PeeWee and Bantam levels.  This type of program is an exciting addition to our Association as it allows players at those levels to play within an elite level of competition.

There will be one team each at the PeeWee AA and Bantam AA level.  These teams will be more demanding than the other ones at the A, B1 and B levels.  Players will adhere to a stricter, more regimented practice and game schedule.  There will be more games to play and more tournaments to participate in as well as a much more intense off ice program.  Double A hockey also has a considerably higher price tag associated with it.  

There will be a PARENTS ONLY, no kids please, informational meeting for guardians of PeeWee and Bantam players that are interested in this new program for the 2019-2020 season.  This will take place in the meeting room upstairs in VETS 1  on Thursday, May 2  from 7:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m.  Tryouts, cost, travel, tournaments, leagues and coaches are among the items to be discussed, as well as any other questions you may have.  We appreciate your interest and look forward to seeing you next week!

There is a great opportunity for hockey treadmill and stride conditioning from local instructor, Zachery Boor.

Zach is from Fargo and played hockey for Davies High School.  He has coached PeeWee B1 for West Fargo as well as just graduating college at NDSU.  He has previously worked at Sanford running their treadmill and would like to bring his knowledge to WFHA this year.  

Benefits from treadmill training and stride conditioning include:

• Improve adequate knee bend
• lengthen and create a more powerful stride
• staying conditioned in the off season
• one on one coaching
• increased focus and development turning weaknesses into strengths

The treadmill training program will be level specific and open to boys and girls of all ages.   At the lower level tiers it will start out with proper form, arm movement and returning strides to the body properly.  For higher tiers Zach will focus on acceleration, resistance training and top-end speed.  This is all done while using proper form.  Each session will be tailored to the specific needs of the player.

Now the details:

-Please contact Zach directly for scheduling.  He can be reached via email at zachary.boor@ndsu.edu or his phone number is 701-809-5533.  Please attempt contact via email first.

-Players will want to bring skates, helmet, gloves and stick.

-Sessions will be 30 minutes long, unless scheduled with Zach otherwise.

The hockey treadmill is located upstairs at Vets 2.  If you've never been up there, there are shooting tarps available to shoot at if your player would like to get some shots in towards the 10k Puck Challenge over the summer!!  Come in early, stay after your session or meet a friend up there!!
