Do you have a consistent

Each family will be given a schedule in August listing
all the games for the season. Each team practices
on the same night & time each week for convenience
for our families. All skill sessions are on the
same day & a schedule for the entire season
will also be posted in August.
Are all teams balanced out?
Global Hockey does its best to try and make each team
as even as possible talent wise. After week 6 the
coaches meet to move some players around to different
teams in order to keep the competitive balance.
What
is the coaching philosophy at Global Hockey?
Global Hockey will emphasize play making and creativity.
We will discourage dumping the puck and chasing it
around the ice. Teaching positional play is easy.
Teaching skills such skating, puck handling, and creative
decision making makes the difference between a good
player and a great one.
Will
we have to travel to other rinks for games, practices,
or skills?
All Global Hockey practices, games, and skills, will
take place in our rink, Mark Bavis Arena in Rockland,
MA. Travel Hockey without the travel!
Who is coaching the Global Hockey Teams and skills?
Global Hockey uses paid professional coaches. Please
check out our coach's page to see a list of our coaches
and their experience. Global Hockey is always striving
to add highly experienced coaches in order to make
our program the best in the area. We have former NHL
players, College All Americans, and high school coaches
from the best programs in the state coaching here
at Global Hockey.
Do the better players get more ice time than the
other players?
All players will receive the same amount of ice time.
There are no power play units or penalty kill specialist.
We want each of our players to learn to play in all
situations of a game. At all levels we strive for
each shift to be between 30-45 seconds in order to
maximize the effort level and productivity of each
shift while allowing proper rest for the other lines.
Global provides the opportunity for better players
to move up as an alternate to the Boston Jr Terriers
AAA program if deemed appropriate by Brian Yandle.
Additional fees may apply.
How
many players will be on each team?
All teams will have 10 forwards, 6 defenseman, 2 goalies,
and 2 practice players. The reason we do 10 forwards
is simple. There is always at least one or two kids
missing each week for various reasons. Again, to make
sure each player can go hard every shift we want at
least 9 forwards and 5 or 6 defensemen at each game.
Players get into bad habits when they are playing
the game tired.
Does Global Hockey allow
players to play for other teams?
Global hockey does allow the players to play for other
teams however if a scheduling conflict does arise
we expect 100% commitment to Global Hockey. Our coaches
are very good but even they can't make you a better
player if you are not here.
Do you have a Goalie Coach?
Global Hockey employs a full time goalie coach, Lenny
Mosca. Lenny is on the ice for every skill session
working with the goalies for the entire session.
