Hockey Team Development Sessions in Edmonton, AB
Team development sessions bring a dedicated skills coach to your team's ice. Instead of systems and line rushes, the ice time focuses on defence and forward skills that make a team better: puck handling, passing, shooting, skating and decision-making. Sessions run during the season for a whole team or program, using the same game-based coaching behind our hockey skills training in Edmonton, AB.
What's Included in Hockey Team Development Sessions
- Skill progressions for puck handling, passing, shooting and skating
- Game-based drills that build decision-making under pressure
- High-tempo reps that keep every player engaged
- Position-specific coaching for defencemen and forwards
- Sessions planned around your team's level, needs and ice time
Full-Team and Defence/Forward Split Team Training Sessions
Choose the format that fits your roster:
Full-Team Sessions
The whole roster works through skill progressions and game-based drills together.
Defence and Forward Split Sessions
Defencemen work on gap control, walking the blue line and shooting through traffic, while forwards work on net-front play, puck protection and finishing.
Hockey Team Development for Minor, AAA and Junior Teams
We work with U11, U13, U15, U18 and Junior teams, from community minor hockey to AAA and elite programs. Sessions are planned around your team's level, so a U11 group and a Junior roster each get drills that match their pace, with a focus on developing both defencemen and forwards.
