ON-ICE TRAINING

The first skate of each week will facilitate a heavy focus on skating development. There will be a large focus on the technique and power development that aims to set the player up for continued improvement not only throughout our 6-week program, but throughout the summer. 

For the second skate of each week, we have decided to completely revamp the program! Every 2nd skate will be a full hour of 3v3 style play. We felt that this provides the players an opportunity to play in a (semi) un-structured manner to allow for skill/creativity/confidence development. On top of all that, they are going to have a BLAST doing it. Players get a ton of high pressure, highly structured skates throughout the season and we believe that the 3v3 will remind them the number 1 reason we do this: TO HAVE FUN!

OFF-ICE TRAINING

Off-Ice Training: We are excited to announced that we have partnered with Strength Coach Jeff LoVecchio. Jeff had a terrific playing career from being the captain at Western Michigan University, to playing over 10 years of pro-hockey from the AHL to Europe. He is now the head strength coach of RIPT hockey training. Jeff has developed a training program that uses the TrainHeroic app, in order to allow the players to take their training into their own hands. Through the app, players will have a 6-week program laid out for them and will be able to use it to fit their busy schedules. Players will receive 2-3 work outs per week depending on the age group. Every workout includes video instruction as well as tracking in order to help them stay on track. Very little to no additional equipment necessary!

VIDEO TRAINING

Video Training: Players will receive one Hockey IQ video per week. All videos will be done by former Anaheim Ducks Video Coach and Stanley Cup Champion, Joe Trotta. Joe has isolated 6 specific concepts that are relevant from Mites all the way to Pro that will help them succeed in their hockey careers.

GOALIES

Goalies: Goalies will also have 2 skates per week. They will have their own separate skating/skill development skate once a week with Goaltending Coach Chris Cobb. Chris is the Owner of Top Prospects Goaltending, and has a long resume of goaltender development including University of Massachusetts, Union College, Dartmouth, Colgate, USA Hockey and many more. Goalies will then join their age-specific group for the 3v3 skate each week to have some fun!
