Programs

Built for today�s pace of play

Power Edge Pro

Reactive countering. Real game chaos.

Power Edge Pro�s patented setup forces players to handle the puck, manage edges, and process pressure at the same time, mirroring the chaos of real shifts.

Players are challenged to attack tight spaces, recover speed out of turns, and stay deceptive while their hands and feet are under load.

Edge + Puck + Decision

Every rep blends edges, puck skills, and reads so players stop separating �skating� and �skills.�

Reps that matter

Small-area circuits compress more meaningful touches into each minute on the ice.

PEP Session Flow

  1. Dynamic warm-up and edge activation patterns.
  2. Progressive PEP circuits with and without pucks.
  3. Layering deception, passing, and finishes under fatigue.
  4. Competitive small-area games that force creativity.

Who this is for

Skaters who already love handling the puck and want to be dangerous in traffic, not just in open ice.

Attackers who live below the dots Defense who break pressure with their feet Players chasing AAA / junior roles

Training Model

Detail-driven, up-tempo sessions

Sessions are designed like a game: short shifts, quick resets, and constant decision making. Players are cued on details first, then pushed to execute them at full game speed.

Video support and teaching language stay consistent so kids can connect what they feel in practice to what they see on clips and in games.

Small groups mean players get direct feedback on body position, edge angle, stick placement, and timing on every rep.

Constraints-based drills force good habits�shoulder checks, scanning, and deception�without needing to yell them every rep.

Players leave with one or two clear priorities so they know exactly what to hunt for in their next game.
