Body checking in Ice Hockey is an extremely important part of the game.  Too many times, young players go into the sport without fully understanding the reasoning or know-how about body contact.  Our clinics here at Ozzie Ice will provide a gradual progression of drills to better prepare all players to confidently give and receive body checks in a clean, sportsmanlike fashion. 

 CLINICS AND CLASSES SET UP THROUGHOUT THE YEAR.
