Program Goal: Build hockey-ready athletes year-round with cyclable training phases of structured off-ice training.
How it works: Three progressive 4-week phases. Foundation builds movement quality and clean technique. Development adds strength, volume, and advanced skills. Performance converts everything into game-speed power.
Why it works: Every session pairs strength or conditioning with hockey-specific skills โ stickhandling and shooting are integrated into every training day so the gains transfer directly to the ice. Volume and intensity progress week by week to drive real adaptation. Customizable by age, available days, and goals so each player trains at the right level.
Off-Season Program
Maximum Development
6 days/week ยท Full volume
Strength BuildingPower DevelopmentHigh Volume
This is when you make the biggest gains. Train 6 days/week with full volumes. Progress through all 12 weeks, then restart the cycle. Use the heavier weights and push intensity in Weeks 9-12.
Pre-Season Program
Intensity Ramp
5 days/week ยท Peak preparation
Game SpeedConditioning PeakPower Focus
4-6 weeks before season starts, ramp up intensity. Train 5 days/week. Focus on Weeks 9-12 exercises (performance phase) to peak your power and conditioning right before games begin.
During games, train 3 days/week (Mon/Thu/Sat recommended). All volumes automatically reduce by 1 set. Use Weeks 1-4 exercises only. Goal: maintain strength without adding fatigue.
