Our programs are designed for players of all skill levels, from those just starting to develop fundamental skills to experienced players looking to refine their technique and gain a competitive edge. We believe every player can benefit from our scientifically designed and technology-driven approach.

Our curriculum is structured with progressive levels and phases within each skill area (skating, stickhandling, shooting, passing). Our coaches assess each player's current abilities and guide them through the appropriate drills and progressions. The video-guided C30 program allows players to select modules aligned with their level, while the coach-led C75 program provides personalized instruction and modifications as needed.

Beginners in our program will focus on establishing strong fundamentals in skating (balance, stride), basic puck control, proper shooting technique, and fundamental passing skills. The curriculum starts with introductory levels designed to build a solid base.

Advanced players will work on refining their technique for maximum efficiency and power, developing advanced puck control maneuvers, increasing shot velocity and accuracy in game-like scenarios, and enhancing their playmaking abilities with precise and strategic passing. The technology provides data-driven insights to identify areas for improvement at an elite level.

For all levels, RapidShot provides immediate feedback on shot speed and accuracy. Beginners can focus on developing consistent contact and understanding the relationship between technique and results. Advanced players can use the data to fine-tune their shot for maximum velocity and pinpoint accuracy under pressure. The skatemill allows players of all levels to focus on their skating technique without the distractions of the ice. Beginners can develop balance and proper stride mechanics at a controlled pace. Advanced players can work on specific aspects like stride efficiency, power transfer, and agility with real-time video feedback to make precise adjustments.

Will we receive reports on my child's performance? Progress is tracked through different methods depending on the program and skill level. In the C30, players progress through sequential video modules. In the C75, coaches provide verbal feedback and email detailed performance notes after each session. The RapidShot system tracks shot speed and accuracy, providing quantifiable data for all users. We aim to provide regular feedback to players and parents on their development.

The C75 program has a maximum of two participants per 25-minute station, ensuring a low coach-to-player ratio. This allows our coaches to observe each player closely, provide tailored feedback based on their individual skill level and needs, and modify drills as necessary to ensure everyone is challenged and progressing.

Upon booking a C30 lane, players are provided with an overview of the different skill levels within each curriculum (Shooting, Passing, Stickhandling). Player will start at Level 1, Phase 1, to build a strong foundation. Players can progress at their own pace. While there isn't a formal assessment before the first session, our descriptions of each level help guide selection, and players can adjust as they progress and understand their current abilities.

While our core focus is on developing fundamental Super Skills essential for all positions, our coaches in the C75 program can incorporate position-specific nuances into the drills and feedback. For example, skating drills for defensemen might emphasize backward skating and lateral movement, while shooting drills for forwards might focus on quick release in scoring areas. These adjustments are made based on the individual player's position and skill level. We may offer specialized goalie training in the future, but currently, the focus is on the core skills applicable to all skaters.

Safety is our top priority. All participants are required to wear appropriate hockey equipment (helmet, gloves, skates, shin pads.). Our coaches supervise all drills to ensure proper technique and minimize the risk of injury. The skatemill has safety harnesses and emergency stop mechanisms. We maintain a clean and safe training environment.

Our coaches bring a wealth of knowledge gained from playing at the highest levels of hockey. Their understanding of the fundamentals required to succeed in the NHL translates to effective coaching at all skill levels. They can break down complex skills into manageable steps for beginners and provide nuanced insights for advanced players looking to gain that extra edge. Their experience also provides valuable mentorship and understanding of the dedication required for hockey development.

Our coaching philosophy centers on positive reinforcement, individualized instruction, and a focus on proper technique. We believe in building a strong foundation for beginners while pushing more advanced players to reach their full potential. Our coaches are patient, encouraging, and adapt their communication and drills to suit each player's learning style and skill level.

In the C75 program, with the low coach-to-player ratio, our coaches can closely observe each player's technique and provide immediate, specific feedback tailored to their skill level. For beginners, feedback might focus on fundamental movements. For advanced players, it might address subtle aspects of their form or decision-making. The emailed performance notes further reinforce this personalized feedback.

Our coaches regularly engage in professional development to stay current with the latest coaching techniques, skill development methodologies, and safety protocols. This ensures they are equipped to effectively work with players of all skill levels and provide the most up-to-date and beneficial training.
