Checking Clinic

Bantam Checking Clinic

Date: TBD (usually early September)

Our annual Bantam checking clinic occurs before the start of tryouts each season. 

Session 1 - TBD - Bantam Skaters A-K

Session 2 - TBD - Bantam Skaters L-Z

Body contact and checking are key parts of this fast and exhilarating game. To play at the top of your game, it is critical to be able to give and receive checks without worrying about the potential for injury.

Eagan Hockey is proud to provide the body contact and checking clinic designed by USA Hockey to ease the transition into Bantams and develop those skills. This clinic will help train your game so that you have the skills and confidence to play to the best of your abilities in tight, physical situations while also reducing the likelihood of injury. 

This clinic is primarily designed for players entering their first season of body checking, but second year Bantam players are welcome to participate. 

• Participants will receive 1 hour of on-ice professional instruction. 
• Coaches will focus on developing key skills including angling, positioning, technique, awareness and many more.
• Bantam skaters only (no goalies)
• All skaters must be registered with Eagan Hockey for the 2025-26 season to participate
• No additional cost to participate
