Basic Hockey Training

Core Hockey Skills

SGT Hockey’s synthetic ice training programs in Columbus, OH focus on developing the four core skills every player needs to succeed. Each skill is trained through structured drills, high repetition, and game-relevant movement.

Shooting

Quick-release shots, wrist and snap shots, one-timers, accurate placement, and repeated shooting under pressure.

Passing

Forehand and backhand passes, receiving in motion, puck control under pressure, and smart timing decisions.

Skating

Fast hands, tight-space puck control, head-up handling, and smooth transitions that lead into quick, shots or passes.

Stickhandling

Stickhandling builds confidence and control with the puck, helping players stay composed in real game situations.

Is synthetic ice realistic?2026-01-08T18:56:47+00:00

Why do we need white tape on our sticks?2026-01-08T19:04:46+00:00

White tape is required because it leaves less residue on the synthetic ice surface. This helps keep the training area clean and ensures consistent puck movement for all players.

Why do I have to take my shoes off?2026-01-08T19:05:36+00:00

Shoes are removed to help keep the synthetic ice surface clean and in good condition. Dirt and debris can affect performance and safety on the training surface.

Water is always encouraged. Food and other drinks may be permitted for team or private bookings with prior approval. Please contact us ahead of time to confirm guidelines.

Can more than one person train on a shooting lane?2026-01-08T19:06:31+00:00
