It’s the start of a new season for Adult Pickup Hockey Scrimmage with Strong Dynamics Hockey Skating & Agility Training.  The “big kids” are ready to get back on the ice for a weekly game of pickup hockey.   What makes the game of hockey so much fun?  To me it’s the feeling of improvement, the awareness that I am still able to learn and push my body to be faster, more flexible, more agile and more functional.  Practicing the skills is as much fun for me as the game of hockey itself.

Before you step on the ice for your first pickup game you can get ready with an adult version of hockey practice.  Don’t worry, you won’t have to get up at the crack of dawn.  Our hockey practice is conveniently scheduled at 8 PM right before our pickup game, every Thursday at Conway Arena in Nashua, NH.  The practice, that we call “Skills & Thrills” is actually open to adults and youth skaters.  It is a 4-week themed session that rotates each week to cover:  1) Edges & Stride, 2) Agility, 3) Passing & Shooting and 4) Puckhandling.  Your only competition is yourself.  Each session you are encouraged to learn something new and push yourself to achieve a new personal best.

Beside getting better at hockey skating and skills you will also give your body the chance to get prepared to handle the rigors of a fast-paced hockey game when you practice regularly.  It’s a great way to burn a few extra calories and it’s one more hour to socialize with friends and unwind after a day of work.
