Weight Training
Structured gym workouts building strength and power with proper technique.
Off-Ice Development
Success is built off the ice
The education and guidance to build success on the ice — physical and mental.
We consider the off-season a valuable time for player growth and personal development. We focus on the mental and physical components of development and performance — posture, strength, agility, power, conditioning, awareness, mindfulness, injury prevention and more. Our program offers individual physical evaluations, gym workouts, daily stretching programs, and guided mindfulness and concentration practice.
As players move forward in their hockey careers they will undoubtedly face challenges. Our demanding off-ice program teaches the skills and habits that empower our players to handle adversity and succeed in the future.
