What does it take
to be on the Lightning?
Clear communication and expectations are highly valued by the Xtreme organization, and we want to ensure all athletes are made aware of the expectations coming into Training Camp.
The AAA Xtreme roster will be selected based on the following criteria:
Ultra-Competitive: Physical and mental effort with a relentless obsession to be successful and disciplined.
IQ & Hockey Sense: High level decision-making and execution under adverse conditions through developed habits.
Puck Management & Puck Patience: Possess an outstanding panic scale and consistently keep pucks alive through puck distribution or puck ownership.
SAQ & Escapability: Ability to move at a high pace with body control, dynamic mobility and conceptual awareness.
Innovation & Deception: Courage to try and execute creative tactics and skills with unpredictability.
Stick Skills: Offensive and defensive proficiency to move, tip, handle, shoot, elevate and check pucks.
Strength & Power: Size is not a factor and players are able to exert their power on opponents and do so consistently shift after shift and game after game.
