CHICAGO, IL - EHK Sports is very proud and excited to announce a new program to be introduced the summer of 2006.  The Prodigy Program is a joint venture that has been over a year in the works combining the forces of EHK Sports and Severyn Sports Inc., a leader in the Sports Programming industry.  The Prodigy program will focus on bringing together forty-four elite players born from 1986-1990.  The four and a half day program will be comprised of two daily ice sessions along with three daily off ice sessions. 

On ice work will include a player to coach ratio of no less than three to one, comprised of sessions relating specifically to advanced hockey performance.  This shall include, but not be limited to things such as skating (starts, balance, quickness, etc.), tactics (one on one play, puck protection, etc.), and team concepts (offensive and defensive zone play, special teams concerns, etc).  The second part of this shall be daily small area games designed to draw upon the day’s teachings – reinforcing proper habits – along with controlled full ice scrimmages.

The off ice portion of this camp will set it apart from anything else currently available to players eager to experience something which can provide them with the tools necessary to succeed at the next stage of their lives, both on and off the ice.  Aside from instruction on proper training techniques, testing, and program design for the individual – these sessions will cover nutritional demands of the athletes and supplementation questions.  Daily video analysis shall include reviews of the day’s events which have transpired on the ice, be it individual review or team based review.  The lecture section will cover topics which will benefit players long after they have chosen to leave the game.  These include such topics recruiting, media, competition, and attitude.

The Prodigy Program has worked diligently to ensure that the individuals involved are all experts in their respective fields – providing the aspiring athlete with a weekend of immeasurable information and knowledge.

More information will soon follow – feel free to contact our offices for specific details.
