Professional Player Development
Wasting time and money over the course of a player’s development has the potential to limit a players potential and put a hurt on your wallet. Many training companies that flood the hockey development market see a player one time, or over the course of a weeklong program, then never see them again. In order to provide a dedicated program with development and individual goals in mind, a tangible relationship and continued communication is necessary for success. Hardcore Hockey is the only program of its kind, offering year round professional guidance and instruction to hockey players day-in and day-out, until players have effectively developed to elite players and met personal goals.
As the game of hockey has developed, it has become necessary for players of all ages and levels to maintain a disciplined training ethic both during the regular season and in the off-season. Individual skill has become increasingly important in the modern game of hockey, and as such, so too has the technique training players need to excel on the ice. Hardcore Hockey offers:
Year-Round Player Development
- Players that attend year-round lessons have the inside edge on their competition
- For players that decide to maintain a year round lesson schedule: The perfection of overall skills will dramatically improve players and contribute to achieving short and long term goals
- For players that want to take lessons on through specific periods of the year: Overall skill level will improve but will begin to fall behind, and time must be dedicated to skill review and achieving personal goals is more difficult
- For players who elect not to take year round lessons or want to stop taking lessons: Overall skills will eventually decline, and players will not move on to the next level making personal goals extremely difficult to meet.
New School Hockey Instruction
- Complete breakdowns of new school hockey techniques… We can verbally and physically break down and demonstrate every single hockey technique that you will see in the NHL.
- This is how we teach during our instructional lessons in both the group and individual setting:
- Teach a specific powerskating technique (include the upper body positioning as if your holding a hockey stick with a puck)
- Teach the same powerskating technique with a puck (keeping your shoulders closed, under pressure)
- Teach the same powerskating and skills technique within a game positioning scenario (defensive, offensive, or neutral zone)
- Teach the technique under pressure and apply it to a real game situation
- Before moving to the next step, it is necessary for a player to be fully confident in his or her skill and ability so that real progress can be made. (Beginners may take more than one session to progress to full skill understanding/development.)
- In addition to the instruction provided by Hardcore Hockey, players are taught the proper terminology and critical knowledge in order to be able to recognize techniques at all levels of hockey competition.
In order to effectively train players to maximize learning and minimize wasted time, Hardcore Hockey seeks to innovate at every turn and make training an interactive, hands-on experience. Through the use of video and web based evaluations, players and parents can be provided with visual breakdowns of techniques, development, and progress in real time. Hardcore Hockey offers:
Multimedia Demonstrations
- Each technique we teach has a video demonstration associated with it on YouTube @HARDCOREHOCKEY360
- Each technique has video demonstration incorporated in a drill with it on YouTube @HARDCOREHOCKEYVIDEOS
Game Video Analysis
You can create a private YouTube page, and upload player video, so HCH can evaluate each player in a game situation and provide video analysis to ensure players are understanding:
- Positioning
- Situational Technique Employment
- Ensure specific skills learned are transferred over to game situations
- HCH will receive YouTube links at any time throughout the year to insure it’s used to customize player’s lessons
Immediate Video Analysis
- The ability to film, evaluate, and review players during a hockey lesson and able to instantly send it to the parents that are watching from the stands, without leaving the ice
- We are able to instantly correct any specific skating, skills, or positioning technique and review it during private, group, or even an entire team session and show exactly where and when to use each technique in a game and why
- The only way to improve what you are doing is to learn from your mistakes through video analysis – seeing is believing
360 Player Evaluations
- Pivotal Splicer point system (0-10) and graph drawing per technique category.
- One of a kind system where players are rated at their current overall level of play (beginner – pro) and visually briefed on progress
- Per player or parental request, layer and parent meetings are scheduled to discuss: evaluations, proper hockey equipment, game video coverage, Video Analysis, year-round development plans, and future goals
LESSONS
If you would like your player to learn the correct techniques of hockey skating and hockey skills… Then this is the way to do it. Players that put in the extra time on the ice, and understand what types of skills they need to accomplish before moving to the next level will achieve their personal hockey goals in the future.
