Velocity Hockey Philosophy

Becoming Stronger and more powerful is critical to Hockey success, especially as one attempts to move up from level to level. Being Stronger and more powerful contributes to skating faster and more powerful, dynamic balance, shooting and checking as well as injury prevention. Remember….improving hockey performance is not the same as general fitness and general strength. Players of all abilities must focus on other components like explosiveness, quickness, agility, speed, lateral movement, balance, reaction skills and technical skills and tactics. The Proper Hockey Strength & Power training is the foundation that these important attributes are built from and are the basis for the programs designed at the Velocity Hockey Center.

All the On-Ice sessions will focus on the following with and without the puck:

Over-Speed Training

Multi-Directional Movement Skills

First Step Quickness/Explosiveness

Lateral Mobility

Powerful Strides

Forward and Backward Transitions

Stick-Handling in tight areas

Shooting the puck at a high tempo

Small Area Games

Velocity Hockey Strength & Conditioning:

The highly intensive Strength and Conditioning Program is designed to help increase the players skating and physical performance. The players will be put through a variety of quickness/agility exercises as well as some power core strength methods that will help build the adequate muscles needed to perform the on ice drills. The program is based on the athlete's training age or experience of the athlete. The lower the training age of the athlete the more he or she will have to learn. Veloctiy Hockey Center will educate the athlete first to ensure a proper foundation is built. Students will also be training on the NEW Skating-Mill in the Velocity Hockey Center. The continual practice of the skating motions on the Skating-Mill will help build “Muscle Memory” to adequately perform the motions on the ice at a much higher and powerful tempo.

** Students will do the On and Off Ice Training Program on the same days. They will go through their on ice instruction then go directly to the dryland area.**
