DELTA | U18 SUMMER DEVELOPMENT

The IHD off-season program has been home for countless NHL, AHL, WHL, and NCAA players for over 14 years. We have the experience and knowledge as to what it takes to prepare players to be at their best when it counts the most.

SKILL + SKATING DEVELOPMENT: 

Players will work on the critical fundamentals; we must master the fundamentals through correct repetition to form elite habits.

SPLIT ICE POSITIONAL DEVELOPMENT: 

Forwards at one end of the rink and D at the other end, separating the group into smaller working groups to allow the players to target the critical aspects of their unique game.

GAME SITUATIONS + COMPETITION:  

This is a compete practice that will include several battles and compete drills. We will also use this ice session for high-intensity scrimmages. (Subject to COVID restrictions)

DRYLAND TRAINING PROGRAM:

Preparing yourself for Jr hockey is a difficult process. Players at the next level will be older, bigger, faster, and stronger. The off-season is a critical time for players to focus on INDIVIDUAL development. Too many players use the off-season to play games and continue the cycle of the regular season. Developing athletes need to be able to separate the mindset of in-season vs off-season. It is particularly important for the players to have guidance and personalized coaching to execute the correct training methods. Improper programming and mechanics, in the gym, can lead to long-term injury and setbacks.

In this program, players can expect to be pushed hard to maximize their growth and development to prepare them for the tough challenges they will face in the future. This will be an intense, competitive, and demanding program, but most importantly it will be rewarding!
