Philosophy

Minnesota Magicians and Where We Fit In The Minnesota AAA Hockey World

The Magicians AAA program has been around since 2008; our teams consistently compete with most top AAA programs within the state and our coaching staff is second to none. We try to do things the right way based off years of coaching and playing experience at all levels.  We try to treat players and parents with respect and do our best to help our players improve.  It's a long road to playing Varsity hockey in Minnesota; our goal is to help young players develop a passion for the game above all and improve their skills enough to have a shot.

 

Coaching Philosophy

The Minnesota Magicians are dedicated to providing every player with quality instruction from experienced coaches.  Every Minnesota Magicians team will have a lead coach for games and most practices. Minnesota Magicians teams will also have the opportunity to receive coaching form multiple staff members in the organization, giving each team varied instruction from our experienced staff.


Team Skills

Possibly the most overlooked aspect of “team sports” is the team itself. Many players, parents, and fans alike, focus on individual results and forget that the team is most important; working in a team environment is essential for future growth in the game of hockey and life.


Individual Skills

The best way to contribute to team results is to work harder on the thing you can control the most, yourself. Hockey players that are able to play the game with confidence and a high skill level reward the team with positive results. The Minnesota Magicians focus on play-making, vision, and concepts/drills that promote the development of hockey sense.


Hand Skills

The ability to play with the puck in today’s game is increasingly important. A majority of the on-ice sessions incorporate hand skill development.  Being able to possess the puck and distribute it to your team mates is what separates good and great players at all levels.
