"Video training inspires me to match perfection."
Video training is a powerful tool. We use video to catalog our players performance. We also use it to assist players in learning more about their game and how they can improve it. Players have the ability to have interactive one on one video sessions with our advisors to reinforce good habits and improve on bad ones.

With our partnership with InStat, we are able to train our players in the use of video review and assist them in creating their video library that they can use for all aspect of their game and to market themselves to higher level recruiters.

"You can always improve your fitness...by training."
Attention to fitness gives a player the ability to achieve greater things and increases their ability to improve their on ice game. Developing a solid in-season and off-season plan for fitness is all part of the process. Upon request, we will introduce you to our Rolodex of top fitness professionals who will assist us in assisting you.

Many players may workout but their workouts may not be designed for their hockey playing needs. Not only did our fitness professionals play the game, they currently work with teams and players with their hockey specific fitness requirements.
PLAYER MENTORING
"A mentor will make the difference."
The next most rewarding thing other than playing the game is to pass on the knowledge you've acquired to those who need it. Both myself and my team is available 24/7/365 to pass on what we've learned and to listen, encourage and assist. We've been through the trials of juniors, college and professional hockey and know what it took for us to move forward. Sometimes, all a player needs is to know that they have a mentor who they can lean on to help them achieve their goals.
ON-ICE COACHING
"A good coach will change a game.
A great coach will change a life."
While players have seasonal coaches, they can always learn from the experience of others. We are available to work with players on individual skill enhancement which can build up a players pyramid, with the base of that pyramid being his/her core skill set. Our players can schedule personal sessions with our professional staff.
PLAYER MARKETING
"We can't play you if we don't know you."
Our connections in the game run deep. We utilize these connections to insure you have the best opportunities. Make no mistake, we don't over-hype our players. We simply make sure the right coaches, recruiters and scouts know who you are. Relationships are what drive hockey. Our colleagues trust us to delivered the right information on a player so everybody wins.
