Strength Training
The primary aim of our program is to educate athletes on the fundamental principles of strength training.
We believe that by providing a solid foundation in this area, we can significantly enhance their performance in various sports.
To achieve this, we will introduce participants to key exercises that are crucial for building strength and improving physical capabilities. These foundational exercises include squatting, deadlifting, bench pressing, and lunging.
Each of these movements plays a vital role in developing the body's core muscle groups, which are essential for overall athletic performance. As athletes learn and practice these exercises, they will not only improve their motor skills but also increase their strength, stability, and coordination.
Ultimately, our program is designed to help athletes reach their full potential, equipping them with the necessary tools to excel in their respective sports. By focusing on these foundational elements, we aim to create well-rounded athletes who can perform at their best.
Track/Speed Sessions
The primary goal of our program is to teach athletes the essential skills required for sprinting, with a focus on helping them enhance their speed.
We believe that by emphasizing proper technique, body coordination, and the effective application of force, our athletes will gain a deeper understanding of how to control their bodies while running.
This improved body control is crucial, as it lays the foundation for better performance on the track. Throughout the program, athletes will engage in various drills and exercises designed to refine their sprinting mechanics, leading to increased efficiency and faster in sport.
Ultimately, our aim is to equip athletes with the knowledge and skills they need to excel in their sports performance.

Power Skating
Our summer skating program is designed to enhance your athlete's skating and help them make progress leading into the season. This is the perfect opportunity for athletes to focus on their edges, extend their stride, and work on increasing their speed.
While taking time off in the summer is beneficial, participating in other sports can also contribute to improving your skating skills.
Since hockey is primarily a skating sport, starting the season behind can create unnecessary pressure and setbacks.
By developing your stride even just once a week, you can maintain your skills and be well-prepared to excel when the season begins.

Forward/Defence Clinics
