Athletic Evolution, Valerie Bono and Seven Hockey are proud to announce a new groundbreaking on-ice/off-ice hockey training program this summer where each player is guaranteed to get 5,000 puck touches over the course of 4 weeks.

On-Ice Training

Each workout consists of one hour of intense skill development designed after the European model
Skills covered will include: puck touches & shooting, positional power & scoring, quick feet & stick handling, agility & technique
Fast-paced workouts force quick decisions with the puck and ensure an intense workout
Smaller ice surface brings players out of their comfort zone and leads to raised skill level and quickness in all movements and shots
Repetition, repetition, repetition – specific skills will become second nature

About Valerie Bono & Seven Hockey

The on-ice component of the program will be run by Seven Hockey, which is led by Head Hockey Coach Valerie Bono. After an outstanding high school and college ice hockey career at Cushing Academy and Providence College, Valerie focused her career on improving athletic performance on and off the ice for hockey players of all ages and skill levels. Valerie learned of her love of coaching while being a member of the National Ice hockey Program throughout her high school and college career.

Valerie is a Certified Level 5 Master coach with USA Hockey and has trained thousands of local athletes of various ages and abilities.

Off-Ice Training

AE expert trainers will lead players in the latest training techniques - NIKE SPARQ Training – to improve each player’s speed, agility, explosiveness, strength and flexibility
Workouts will take place either one hour before or one hour after on-ice workouts, depending upon the specific day
Emphasis on lateral speed, first step quickness, balance and explosiveness
Hockey-specific exercises will simulate in-game movements – i.e. resistance bands, slide boards, Russian boxes

Reading Girls Basketball Clinches Another Middlesex League Title

brian — Wed, 10 Feb 2010 16:34:09 +0000

Despite a tough loss to Stoneham on Friday night, the Reading girls varsity basketball team locked up a share of the Middlesex League title. Much of the team’s success continues to hinge upon key players such as junior captain Carlene Kluge; seniors Dana Powers, and Amanda Flower; and freshmen sensations Oliva Healy and Morgan O’Brien. These girls all participated in AE’s Preseason Hoops Program, which met 3 times a week for 3 weeks in November. The program combined off-court speed, agility, strength and conditioning training with on-court skill development to prepare each player for tryouts and the upcoming season.

Several other players – Desh Perera, Gracie Starble – participate in other AE programs year round and we are proud to say that they are a part of our athlete base. Congratulations to all the girls for their hard work and success and best of luck in the tournament!

Woburn’s Callie Murphy Leads By Example

brian — Wed, 10 Feb 2010 16:21:59 +0000

Woburn’s Callie Murphy was featured in an article in the Daily Times Chronicle this week in which her role in the success of the Woburn girls varsity team’s success is detailed. A returning All-Star from a season ago, Murphy should be an All-League candidate this season as she is having a terrific year for her 11-4 club. Murphy is fourth in the league in scoring with 14.8 points per game and is near the tops on the team in steals, assists and rebounds all while being guarded by the opposing player’s top defender each night.

As the story describes, as great as Murphy has been on the court, she has been even more integral to the team’s success as a leader. One of Callie’s quotes reads, “I feel like I try to lead by example. I want to work as hard as I can and hopefully that will get the other girls to work as hard as they can too. I try to tell everyone to give 100 percent and if I see them getting down I do whatever I can to try and pick them up.”

Murphy’s philosophy of hard work started in November, when she and Erin Maguire organized a group of Woburn players to participate in AE’s Preseason Girls Hoops Program, including: Paige Carbone, Gabi Parker, and Shannon Maguire. The group met 3 times a week for 90 minutes each day for the 3 weeks leading up to tryouts. The workouts combined off-court speed, agility, strength and conditioning with on-court skill development to prepare each player for their upcoming season. Day in and day out, Murphy and Maguire pushed their teammates to work harder than anyone else and it has obviously translated into their play on the court.
