On-Ice Development

The Most Complete Power Skating Curriculum

The on-ice aspect of this camp teaches proper skating technique and progressively applies it in top-speed, game-simulated drills, because good technique is only valuable when players can use it at full speed in real game situations. Each player is video recorded and receives personalized analysis with coaching commentary, while on-ice video projection technology allows them to see and feel corrections in real time. The program also develops focus and reaction time through drills designed to mimic game scenarios, training players to read and react to the puck at high speed.

Off-Ice Development

Powered by Testify Performance

Athletes take part in daily off-ice sessions fully integrated into RINK's on-ice mastery system, with the goal of optimizing development and enhancing performance on the ice. The program includes strength and conditioning, SAQ (Speed, Agility, Quickness), and hockey-specific mobility sessions, all designed to improve movement patterns, recovery between shifts, and foundational movement capacity. Staff educate athletes on the purpose behind each session, ensuring they leave camp with a complete understanding of how to train off the ice to support their on-ice development.

Off-Ice Skills

Sharpen your on-ice skills one station at a time.

The off-ice skills sessions challenge athletes to apply what they are learning on the ice through a variety of station-based drills, including shooting, puck control, fakes and dekes, and hand-eye coordination. Stations are designed with smaller group sizes to maximize each athlete's work-to-rest ratio. This approach reinforces on-ice development by giving athletes additional repetitions in a focused, high-intensity environment.

Multi-Sport

Develop the athlete to elevate the hockey player.

The multi-sport sessions develop well-rounded athletes by introducing a variety of organized sports that build transferable motor skills to enhance their hockey game. Instructors teach the fundamentals of each sport before athletes put them into action through games, reinforcing the value of being a multi-sport athlete in a fun, engaging environment.
