| Day | Focus |
|---|---|
| Monday | Weigh-in + active recovery — foam rolling, mobility, and movement |
| Tuesday – Thursday | Strength training — each player on their In-Season or Post-Season Program, based on their club schedule |
| Every day | Agility, hand-eye coordination, balance, mobility, core, reaction |
The same philosophy as the ice: technique first, load second, everything in service of the game.
How to get around a gym safely. What a rep is. What tempo is. Proper form and technique — from day one.
Push, lower body. Push, upper body. Pull, lower body. Pull, upper body. Every program is built on these four.
Players do not load until they are physically ready — and form and technique are on point. EVERY REP MATTERS.
Movements that emulate on-ice play. A better hockey player on the ice — not a better worker-outer.
Always in the mix: core and athleticism in every session — juggling, hand-eye coordination, balance, and peripheral vision training.
Training built around each player's club schedule — supporting the season, never competing with it.
When a player's season ends, their program shifts — the window to build strength and athleticism while the game calendar allows it.
Off-ice testing throughout the year — including testing on our Hawkin Dynamics force plates, the same technology used at the professional and college levels.
Force plates measure exactly how much power and explosiveness a player produces — objective numbers, not opinions. Every player gets a baseline, and every retest shows the growth.
The plates measure each leg independently — revealing left-right asymmetries a coach's eye can't see. Catching an imbalance early means correcting it before it limits performance or leads to injury.
Testing turns training into evidence. Players see their own numbers climb — and programs are adjusted from data, player by player, not from guesswork.
No cookie-cutter programs, and no burnout.
Every program is based on age, size, maturity, and training experience — a 5th grader and a senior are never on the same plan.
Programming accounts for each student's club schedule, student to student — training complements their team commitments, never conflicts with them.
Training outside of the gym and ice is paired with nutrition, sleep, and recovery education.
Players put the work in, in the gym — but the benefits come from what you put in your body outside of the gym, and how you recover.
Nutrition • Sleep • Recovery
Stronger. Faster. More durable. More confident.
Who your child becomes here isn't a feeling — it's measured, tested, and tracked all year. The same daily standard that builds the athlete builds the person.
The gym floor tells you more than any web page. Watch a morning session on a Shadow Day.
