BENEFITS OF ADM:
MORE PUCK TOUCHES: Smaller spaces mean more opportunity for a player to touch the puck – and ultimately improve their game.
AGE-APPROPRIATE TRAINING: By shrinking the ice down to their level, kids can get more involved and learn skills quicker and easier.
INCREASED COMPETITION: A smaller ice surface makes players of all skill levels think and act quicker, resulting in more frequent battles for the
puck.
FUN FOR ALL: There's a direct relationship between the amount of time a player spends with the puck and their passion for the game. The more active we can keep them, the more enjoyable their experience will be. And more fun they have, the more they'll learn.
