The Weekly Structure
Consistency = results.
| 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 |
Inside the Gym: How Players Progress
The same philosophy as the ice: technique first, load second, everything in service of the game.
Learn the Gym
How to get around a gym safely. What a rep is. What tempo is. Proper form and technique — from day one.
Master the Movements
Push, lower body. Push, upper body. Pull, lower body. Pull, upper body. Every program is built on these four.
Earn the Load
Players do not load until they are physically ready — and form and technique are on point. EVERY REP MATTERS.
Train Like a Hockey Player
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.
In-Season Program
Training built around each player's club schedule — supporting the season, never competing with it.
Post-Season Program
When a player's season ends, their program shifts — the window to build strength and athleticism while the game calendar allows it.
Tested, Not Guessed — On Force Plates
Off-ice testing throughout the year — including testing on our Hawkin Dynamics force plates, the same technology used at the professional and college levels.
A Real Baseline
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.
Catching Imbalances Early
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.
Proof It's Working
Testing turns training into evidence. Players see their own numbers climb — and programs are adjusted from data, player by player, not from guesswork.
Built Around Each Athlete
No cookie-cutter programs, and no burnout.
Individualized Programming
Every program is based on age, size, maturity, and training experience — a 5th grader and a senior are never on the same plan.
Never Double Up
Programming accounts for each student's club schedule, student to student — training complements their team commitments, never conflicts with them.
The Other 22 Hours
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.
