Driven by Dreams.  Guided by Principles.


Professional instruction (NHL trained and experienced) built for minor hockey players.

Long term player development designed for the individual.   These are not your one-size fits all hockey camps.   Expect individual attention and individual analysis that will allow you not only to improve, but to measure that improvement.   Your only competition is you.  We will give you the means to measure how far and how fast you are improving.

We teach our athletes that doubts and fears can only hold them back.  Once they step inside the rink there is no fear and there is no doubt.  Make mistakes and learn from them. No one can tell you that you can’t reach your dreams, because no one has ever taken your journey before.  It’s your story

If you would like more information regarding our process or to sign up as a group or individual, please contact us.

Development Programs

Driven by Dreams.  Guided by Principles.

We create great people.  We happen to teach hockey.

Private Lessons / Coaching

NOTE: We have incredibly limited availability for this type of instruction.   We rarely recommend this type of instruction to anyone not playing at the professional level.   It is expensive, intense and requires a completely engaged individual to be of value.

Mentorship / Mindset / Confidence

Contact us to let us know how we can help!  


 


Video Analysis

Our on-ice programs provide video analysis, both on the ice and online to help participants improve.   Timely feedback is the key to improvement.

Bettering yourself doesn’t stop just because you leave the rink.   We accept video (1 min or less) of your shooting or puck handling practice.   Using the same process and software that we use with our NHL clients we will help you improve your game.

We can also help you by viewing your game video.    What skills should you be working on and why?  Improving tactical and strategic awareness are game components that can only be evaluated properly in a game situation.

All Pricing is in Canadian Dollars and includes HST.
