The BarnBuilt Hockey Locker Room

What belongs here
A resource room—not another storefront.
The Locker Room is where BarnBuilt Hockey explains equipment, shares training ideas and gives hockey people a starting point. Keep adding to these sections as new products, drills and lessons are developed.

Small changes. Better reps.
Give every rep a target
Do not just shoot or pass. Pick a target, count successful repetitions or add a time goal so the player knows what success looks like.
Progress one variable at a time
Start with technique, then add movement, speed, pressure or decision-making. Too many changes at once make it hard to know what improved.
Short sets beat sloppy volume
Ten focused reps are often more useful than fifty rushed ones. Reset the puck, reset the body and make the movement intentional.

Basic Drills
Simple drills to build from.
Five-Spot Accuracy
Choose five target areas. Take five controlled shots at each. Track hits, then repeat and try to improve the score.
Focus: accuracy · release · repetitionReceive & Release
Pass into a rebounder, receive the return across your body and immediately pass again. Alternate forehand and backhand receives.
Focus: first touch · timing · puck positionThree-Gate Hands
Set three obstacles in a line. Move through slowly with control, then repeat with more speed while keeping the puck in a usable position.
Focus: hands · reach · controlThese are starter drills. Add your own diagrams, progressions and age recommendations as the Locker Room grows.
