I was recently invited (with Martin Hlinka / Skills Coach) to run a 1-week clinic in Yekaterinburg, Russia (Pavel Datysuk’s hometown).
The clinic was held in Kurganovo, a sporting complex 40 miles outside of the city.
The facility has dormitories, an ice arena (2 rinks), swimming pool, soccer & tennis courts, weight room, wooded trails & lakeside beach. It feels very much like Brainerd, MN.
The clinic was for top Peewee age players in Yekaterinburg (and surrounding areas). We worked with each group twice a day (90 minutes sessions) and challenged them with various skating & skill progressions.
The players were very eager to learn & were very coachable. It was a great experience.
