Development

Our athletes take part in daily purposeful training both on ice and off ice. Practices are designed with individual skill development in mind through tactical and technical teaching. Our philosophy is to provide our athletes with the tools needed to execute and perform at the highest level possible.

Teaching is a big part of our daily activities, from techniques to hockey IQ that gives our athletes not only a physical advantage but also allows them to understand the game and how to be successful within it. Our coaches are experts by experience having played the game at collegiate, professional, and national levels. Their knowledge of what it takes and their understanding of the player’s perspective makes our academy a unique program

Physical Preparation

We strongly believe that physical preparation is key to long-term hockey development. Our professional Strength and Conditioning Coach, combined with our Athletic Therapist, provide expertise for maximum off-ice development. Testing on and off the ice is done throughout the year analyzing each individual baseline and development curve, as well as identifying each individual’s strengths and weaknesses. With that information a purposeful training program is built around maximizing each athlete’s growth and helping them achieve their optimum athletic potential.
