Home Hockey Training Objectives and Considerations This is the 3rd of 3 intro videos for the Home Hockey Training Center. Check out the first two videos before moving on to this one. Here are the links to videos 1 and 2: Video 1: Course Overview Video 2: Skill Development Strategy Before you start putting together your Home Hockey Training Center, it's important to have a game plan.
