Starting in September 2009 VOSHA will now be offering weekly skills sessions built into the Travel Program. We will offer 20 sessions dedicated to individual development in areas of skating, stickhandling, and shooting. More details will follow once the 2009-2010 teams have been chosen within the Association. Don't miss out on an opportunity to join an association dedicated to building your child into the player that he/she strives to be. All sessions will run by Gayle Shalloo:

"In the beginning there is skating. It is a fundamental fact of your life as a hockey player that you will progress and improve only as far as your skating allows you. It doesn't matter that you can shoot a puck through a quarter-inch plywood, stick handle around three people in a phone booth or body-check opponents so hard that their helmets pop off. If you don't skate you don't rate - at least as a hockey player." Jack Falla
