At the junior varsity level, emphasis is placed on the development of fundamental skills that not only strengthen a player’s ice hockey game but also their overall athletic fitness and agility. Daily practices include skills and drills in skating and stickhandling as well as system work and conditioning. The Holderness JV hockey program provides players with the opportunity to grow and mature and test their skills against top-level New England competition. It is both a stepping stone for those with aspirations to play at the varsity level as well as a competitive program for those just playing for the love of the game.
