Passing & Shooting On-Clinic (12 and Under)


This class is taught by:

Matt Doran

Player Development Coach & Mentor
 
Matthew Doran, a native of St. Louis, Missouri, had a distinguished career in junior hockey, spanning four years with three seasons in the NAHL and one season in the BCHL. Commencing his collegiate journey at the University of Alaska-Fairbanks for his freshman year, he later transferred to SUNY Geneseo, where he completed four years, balancing academics, hockey, and earning a bachelor’s degree in Communication.

During his tenure at Geneseo, Matthew achieved significant accolades, including winning two conference championships, earning dual selections to all-conference teams, finishing as a runner-up in the National Championship, and being honored with a place on the National Championship all-tournament team. Transitioning to the professional arena post-college, he competed for the Wichita Thunder in the ECHL and spent a season with the Huntsville Havoc in the SPHL, where he stood out as a member of the All-SPHL Rookie team. 

Matt is excited to bring his knowledge of the game into the development of all the athletes that walk into the building.  Matt will be running on-ice clinics and on-ice lessons throughout the week.

This skill-focused clinic is designed to sharpen two of the most essential components of offensive play: passing precision and shooting accuracy. Athletes will work through a series of high-repetition, game-realistic drills that emphasize quick decision-making, puck control, and scoring execution.

Players will learn to improve their passing techniques (forehand, backhand, saucer, area passes), and develop better on-ice awareness to create scoring opportunities. Shooting drills will focus on proper mechanics, release quickness, shot placement, and generating power through dynamic movement
