The Marblehead Youth Hockey Association makes a sizable investment each season by hiring Dan Gordon and his team from ProSkill Development to conduct seven 65 minute skills sessions for each team. These sessions also provide our coaches with an opportunity to acquire new practice ideas.
ProSkill Development
ProSkill Development is committed to providing every player with first class instruction from highly qualified hockey coaches and players at an affordable price. Our instructors have all played and coached at a high level as well as possess a great deal of hockey knowledge. We are dedicated to developing fine young adults through instruction, competition, and mentoring.
ProSkill Development offers players a number of different instructional options to improve their game. ProSkill Development will focuses on what we believe are the 4 major pillars of hockey; Hockey I.Q., Competitive Spirit, Puck Possession Skills, and Speed. It is our goal, not only to improve the skills of each player, but also to develop character, teamwork, and sportsmanship in an enjoyable hockey environment.
Our students enjoy a competitive edge on and off the ice by being provided the very best instruction and in turn will be able to take the next step in hockey and life.
“Speed of hand, speed of foot, speed of mind. All are very important, but the most important of these is speed of mind.”
