OFF SEASON HOCKEY TRAINING

Hockey isn’t won in the weight room.
It’s won on edges.

It’s not about how fast a player moves their feet.
Speed without coordination doesn’t win shifts.

The game demands the ability to absorb force, control it, and redirect it — on one leg, in skating posture, under pressure.

That ability is built in the off-season.

Between April and September, athletes develop coordinated control of force first — then layer strength and speed onto it.

Structured. Progressive. Built around how hockey is actually played.
Not random workouts. Not generic lifting.

• Players serious about long-term development
• Athletes preparing to move up a level
• Families who value structured progression
• Players who want transferable performance — not just gym numbers

3x per week — Monday / Wednesday / Friday
2x per week — Tuesday / Thursday

Hockey is unilateral and edge-dominant.

We train coordination in skating postures — not bilateral lifting patterns.

Outside edge leans.
Inside edge pushes.
Acceleration postures.
Crossover and lateral transfer mechanics.

Athletes learn to:

• Absorb force from varied directions
• Stabilize it without losing posture
• Reapply it efficiently into the next movement

Early in the off-season, we expand coordination within these postures.
As summer progresses, variability narrows and execution becomes faster and more precise.

Strength is layered onto posture control — never substituted for it.

Stronger coordination in skating positions means cleaner force transfer, better edge stability, and more efficient acceleration.

1–2 sessions per week

Conditioning supports coordination — it does not replace it.

The off-season is structured in phases, with emphasis shifting as the summer progresses.
Energy systems are layered, not abandoned.

Early Summer → Build the aerobic foundation to support movement quality and recovery
Mid Summer → Increase high-intensity capacity while maintaining posture control
Late Summer → Emphasize repeat sprint ability without losing technical precision
Pre-Camp → Prioritize speed quality and explosive sharpness

Each phase builds on the last — while maintaining key qualities developed earlier.

We do not condition to exhaust athletes.
We condition so they can maintain coordinated force control deeper into games.

General does not mean generic.

• Early summer expands movement options within skating postures.
• Mid summer stabilizes force production.
• Late summer sharpens speed and precision.

Everything progresses.

The outcome is not just strength.

It’s coordinated, transferable performance:

• Faster first steps
• Stronger edge control
• Stability through contact
• Less force leakage in change of direction
• Speed that holds late in games

Begins immediately after hockey season concludes (April).

Spots are limited to maintain coaching quality and structured progression.

The off-season builds coordination.
The season reveals it.
