Fall Development
Prepare for the Season — The Right Way
The Bandits Fall Development Program is built to help players sharpen their skills and gain confidence heading into tryouts and the regular season. This is your chance to focus purely on development... no pressure, no crowds, and no expectations. Just you, your effort, and your growth.
There’s no one in the stands, no one to impress. This is your time to get uncomfortable, and build the skills that will make you a better player when the tryouts begin. This is the time to ask the Bandits coaching staff for 1:1 help in the areas that you know you need help in.
Our Focus: True Development
Every Bandits session follows a structured, proven curriculum focused on the foundations that make great hockey players: We don’t “wing it.” Every drill, station, and activity is designed to produce measurable improvement.
Our comprehensive Bandits Development Curriculum includes:
✅ Edge Work
✅ Power Skating
✅ Body Mechanics
✅ Strength & Conditioning
✅ Power Skill Development
✅ Small Area Skill Development
✅ Competitive Games
This 4-week development cycle includes:
✅ 4 on-ice sessions per week
✅ Dedicated dryland training
✅ Small-area skill sessions and full-ice concept drills
✅ Game-day ice sessions
We’ve partnered with professional training organizations for power skating, edgework, and off-ice conditioning. We guarantee that after four weeks of Bandits development, every player will become a stronger, faster, and more efficient skater.
Goaltender Development
We never forget about our goalies. They are a critical part of our Bandits family. Our fall program includes a built-in mini goalie camp, designed to give goalies the same focused attention as skaters.
- The edgework session is the sessions where the goalies get goalie specific training and with small goalie-to-coach ratio.
- Every skill station and small-area game includes goalies, they’re never sitting still or used merely as targets.
- Our goal is a 1:2 goalie-to-coach ratio for maximum attention and feedback.
- Goalies participate in dryland training sessions right alongside skaters to improve strength, mobility, and athleticism.
- We are committed to developing complete goalies, they are not just shot blockers, but game changers.
Affordable. Focused. Family-Oriented.
We keep our programs affordable and accessible, because player growth, not profit is what drives us. We maintain small player-to-coach ratios to ensure every athlete gets personal attention and feedback. Limited spots will be available - 20 skaters and 4 goalies per age group.
Join us and experience the Bandits difference where development comes first, where fun is never forgotten, every player matter and a true BANDITS family atmosphere is our mission.
