This 8-week in-season hockey program was designed from firsthand experience. Designed by an athlete who progressed from House League hockey to NCAA hockey. The goal of the program is simple: help hockey players continue to improve strength, speed, and on-ice performance during the season without compromising recovery or game readiness.

Unlike off-season programs that prioritize maximal gains, this in-season system focuses on maintaining and refining athletic qualities when games, practices, and travel are at their highest volume. Training sessions are strategically structured to support performance on the ice, not detract from it.

The program emphasizes:

  • Strength gains without excessive fatigue
  • Explosive power and rate of force development
  • Neural speed and quickness specific to hockey
  • Injury resilience and movement quality
  • Efficient sessions that fit into a competitive schedule

This is the system I developed to keep progressing physically during the season. This system took me from C to A to AA to AAA to Prep School to Junior A and now NCAA hockey. My goal is to help other hockey players move up levels, just like I did. Train with me today!
