FARM TOUGH SPRING ICE PROGRAMS
Ice Hockey Skills Development TrainingFARM TOUGH SPRING ICE PROGRAMS:
MITES – BANTAMS
The purpose of our Spring Ice Programs is to give kids the opportunity to skate with players who they will play with and against next hockey season. If you have a first-year player, this will be a really big year with lots of changes: SQUIRTS will play full-ice and off-sides, PEE WEES will be playing against bigger, stronger kids and BANTAMS will play full-check!
Our Spring Ice Programs are offered in Des Moines and Beaver Dam.

I’ve seen definite improvements in his shot (power, accuracy, quickness), in his confidence and decision making, and in his anticipation and aggressiveness. He’s doing fairly well sticking to his routine and loves making smoothies. Most importantly, he loves the game even more than he did before!
