These programs have been created with the intention of giving the athletes the proper type of training to be best prepared, both physically and mentally, for their upcoming tryouts and the 2026 hockey season. in general. The Start of a new season is a challenging and stressful time, for all players, even the best in the world have and do, experience that "first week shock to the system." There are only a few other sports that could make a claim that they match, let alone surpass, the physical and mental demand the game of hockey places on the athletes and what is required of the athletes to compete at their very best.  In the offseason many will attempt to recreate or simulate that same level of play during the offseason. Whether through AAA, Intensive developmental training, or other various methods, while all of these methods are beneficial to the athletes and the extent of their success level, is still not enough to meaningfully   But the, so often forgotten truth of the matter which is: their is no way to perfectly prepare yourself for the speed, conditioning, physicality and oppositional resistance you they will experience very shortly. that being said, we still must work diligent to address those three universal issues so we can come into the new season in the best possible condition and the most game ready we can be. These preseason programs have been designed to address those three essential components of the game we talked about by firstly building up their anaerobic cardio and phosphocreatine energy systems to an in-season level, through our high intensity interval training. Elevating their speed in every aspect of the game (i.e, feet, hands, decision making, information processing, etc.) to ensure they are entering the winter season confident and well adjusted to regular season tempo (speed, pressure and intensity) through heavily focusing on overspeed training methods and a lot of live competition. In this program we shift the developmental focus away from skill progression into a more game centric and and physical preparation focus.
