NEW HAVEN, Conn. - Each year, the Albertus Magnus College Athletics Department participates in NCAA Division III Week, which is a week-long opportunity for the 450 member schools of Division III to recognize and promote the achievements of student-athletes on and off the field.
Albertus Magnus joined in the nationwide celebration this week by highlighting our Fearless Falcons' academic, athletic, co-curricular, and extra-curricular achievements. A few of our teams - men's ice hockey, women's lacrosse, men's golf, women's tennis, and men's tennis - took time out of their schedules to put together how-to videos for sport-specific skills and drills for the community to use, which can be found below!
The men's ice hockey team created a pair of skills videos demonstrating the correct way to dribble and pass the puck.
