In our continued attempt to keep player development at the forefront of our organizational philosophy, the Bandits are pleased to announce two new and innovative concepts for the upcoming season.

Dedicated Goaltending Training:

In an effort to provide better technical and athletic training to our most important positional players, a dedicated block of time will be allocated weekly to afford our goaltending staff the opportunity to work with each of our goaltenders on their specific needs. This will be in addition to the goaltenders scheduled practices.

Senior Coaching Staff:

A cadre of our most experienced coaches has agreed to pool their talent and create a senior staff that will work with all our teams during the season with their primary focus being on skill development.

This staff will include coaches from USA Hockey, The New Jersey Hitmen as well as our own Bandit staff as well as guest coaches throughout the season.

During spring training sessions these coaches have already begun putting players through their paces. Once the fall season begins, the senior staff will be at each combined session of the 30:30:30 practice providing 30 minutes of high intensity training. In addition the staff will be available to work with teams on any game situation issues that they may be dealing with at the time.  

Developing players to realize their potential has been a main stay of the Bandits and the Hitmen. By combining the resources of our most dedicated coaches and imparting their knowledge on our younger staff members and the athletes themselves we believe Bandit players will gain an edge over their opponents now and more importantly in the years to come.
