<Westlake Winter & Summer Clinics>
Why can’t you improve during your winter season? Through the rigors of a hockey season we experience many ups and downs. These periods are prime examples of stages of development, not necessarily in the most ideal direction. To encourage positive growth and development Westlake has established two clinics during down times of the season, to help further your growth as a player. Expect to receive comprehensive analysis on your game, in specific areas according to your position and skill set. During these three day clinics you will get to know your body and where it is at. Our expectation is for you to come relaxed and ready to learn, while taking specific note of all the little things associated with the game of hockey and your personal development. These clinics are incredible opportunities to get to know the Westlake philosophy!

A Little About Westlake Hockey...
Founded in 2005, Westlake Hockey Development Inc. (WHD) set out to offer something new, different and true to form. Growing up Carl Michaelson & Matthew Lombardi both attended numerous summer hockey schools, but both felt there was something missing – a personalized approach focusing on the little things. Westlake’s mission is to offer the tools necessary for success, shaping and guiding players towards their ultimate goals.
In today’s top professional levels the younger players are dominating the game due to the changes made through their preparation and development years. Beginning at a young age, these players understood that proper exercise programs and nutrition make all the different when trying to achieve their personal best. They focused on the smaller details that would help propel them above their competitors, honing their body into the ultimate competing machine.
Matthew Lombardi is an example of a player who has followed these steps, focusing on the components and details that are at the forefront of the Westlake concept. Now, all aspiring players can have this opportunity!
Entering its fourth season, WHD has already, and continues to, guide some great players to reaching their goals. These players have committed to the Westlake ideals of training The Mind, The Body & The Skills, and all of the small details that surround these focal points, which today are the necessities in becoming the complete hockey player.
