Competition has never been tougher in hockey. The game is becoming more and more skilled. You need to become strong enough and fast enough to compete with elite hockey players.
This doesn't happen by chance. Hockey Players improve from deliberate and intentional training.
Players need everything from puck control, shooting, strength, speed, agility, explosiveness and conditioning. They are forced to become well-rounded in their game or their chances of moving to the next level become limited.
There have been studies done on athletes all over the world to understand what creates top-performing athletes. It's broken down to a specific set of assets, when understood, it can be replicated and creates a predictable result. Players in turn make mass improvements in a short period of time.
This happens through deliberate practice, repetition and development of qualities which make an effective hockey player. But a player is only as good as the energy they can put into their training and the mindset they have towards improvement. Hockey players need more than drills and exercises, they need to be built from the inside out with balance in their life.
Player Acceleration Hockey
Hockey camps and year-round training programs designed to create high-performance athletes. Inside our camps and programs, players experience their truest and fullest potential, on and off the ice.
Pick your path

Focused summer training that sharpens skating, puck skills and confidence, so players start the season sharper and ready to compete. What each camp includes varies by program.

A year-round path that builds confidence, skills, fitness and hockey sense around the season your player already has.
It starts with a free parent call: an honest conversation about your player’s goals, program fit and availability. If it’s a fit, we point you to the program that suits your player.
“I feel like I'm way more confident when I'm playing and I feel like I have my IQ and like my understanding of the game is way better now.”Ben Tyssen — BCEHL Okanagan Rockets U17 AAA
More than another practice
Players grow in confidence and character through developing their skills, hockey IQ, fitness and preparation for the season ahead. We help them build the habits and ability to take the next step in their game.
Coaches support players regardless of their level, whether they play house hockey, AAA, Tier 1, U18 or junior. We help each player build toward their goals and prepare for the challenges ahead.
Player Acceleration fits a busy lifestyle. We work within your schedule, supporting your son or daughter’s hockey development on and off the ice through our camps and year-round training.

Foundations
Player Acceleration covers foundational aspects a hockey player needs to thrive in and outside the game: mindset, skills, fitness, hockey IQ, nutrition and preparation for the next level

Pressure management, composure and leadership habits that hold up when the game gets hard, and carry beyond the rink.

Skating edges, puck control, shooting and mechanics, including focused off-ice stick and puck work that transfers to the ice.

Build the strength, speed and conditioning your player needs on the ice, with recovery habits that support training and competition.

Read the ice, anticipate the play and make confident decisions under pressure.

With over 15 years of selecting teams and running tryouts, we help families understand the process so players show up prepared.

Nutrition guidance is part of whole-player development: fueling, recovery and habits that support training. Not every camp includes the same nutrition program. Year-round pathways go deeper where it fits.
“I've tried lots of different camps and lots of different programs, but Player Acceleration has been the program where I've improved consistently and taken my game to the next level.”Kyla Johnson — Medicine Hat Rattlers, ACAC
