On March 22 10:50-11:50am (MIDGET TEAM ONLY) On- Ice practice with Laconia/ Fighting Spirit Junior Hockey Staff @Laconia Ice Arena went extremely well as kids raised their game to compete with the NSHL 2014 Regular Season champion Fighting Spirit and were drilled by Lisa Simmons, a reknown powerskating coach in the OHA program.
 
The March 26 630pm On/Off- Ice Practice at Plymouth State Rink focused on a high level of compete, utilizing a tremendous amount of 1 on 1 drills and skill work in an uptempo setting.  Plyometrics and Strength Training by former Peterborough Pete and NY Ranger property Justin Soryal followed.
 
The March 29 715-815am On- Ice Powerskating practice session at Laconia Ice Arena-  Followed by Team Hike up Lockes Hill (9am) Gilford, NH went great as well.  Terrific attendance for the early morning skate (which featured almost a full 60 minutes of quick starts, edge work and body control).  Followed by an almost 2 mile hike up Lockes Hill... done in a very respectable 31minutes!
