ON ICE DEVELOPMENT STRUCTURE:

MONDAYS - POWER SKATING + SKILL DEVELOPMENT:

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

TUESDAYS - POSITIONAL DEVELOPMENT:

Forwards at one end of the rink and D at the other end, separating the group into smaller working groups.  The group will be divided into positional stations. Players will be able to focus developmental time to their specific position.

THURSDAYS - GAME SITUATIONS + COMPETITION:

This is a competitive based practice that will include several battles and competition drills. We will also use this ice session for high-intensity scrimmages.

DRYLAND TRAINING PROGRAM:

Making it to the next level in hockey often comes down to strength, power, and mass. Players must use the off-season months to develop these critical aspects of their own development. As the off-season progresses into the summer months, athletes need to develop their game's speed, quickness, and explosive power elements. It is very important for all off-season plans to have progression and phases in mind.

In this program, players will have workouts structured into phases to peak them for the start of their training camp, as we believe not all programs should be the same. Players who have specific needs will have them addressed in their own program overview. Developing the athletic qualities off the ice to then transfer onto the ice is the key to this program.
