Utilizing the 4 Components of hockey, our coaches will work with players on the path to becoming elite by helping them recognize three things through individual shift analysis.

Patterns

The game of hockey is composed of a series of patterns and tendencies. Video can help them recognize patterns quicker and increase their decision making speed.

Pressure

Pressure dictates what you do with and without the puck. Understanding where pressure comes from and how that impacts what you do in certain patterns helps players make high quality decisions!

Position

Understanding the position of others, as well as how you can be more effective in your position makes players more valuable to their line mates, coaches and team!

The 4 Components of Hockey

As the player possessing the puck, when and why do you skate it, pass it or shoot it?

How do you defend at the puck when opposition is in possession?

As one of the other 4 players on the ice, what are you doing to help your team generate offense?

  • Kai S.

    Player

    “Alex helped me become much more confident in my game with and without the puck. He taught me how to be more of an offensive threat as well as how to be patient in the game. Details matter, and those details are providing me with advantages that I did not have before working with Alex. He made it easy for me to understand the breakdown of my game. I look forward to next season and the opportunity to work with him. “

  • Cameron V.

    Parent

    “Colby has loved working with Alex and Jake this season! Jake has helped Colby with his positioning in games and overall technique, which has helped him work hard and improve his training and gameplay. Jake has also worked with Colby on the metal side of the game for pregame and in-game preparation and to stay focused and confident. I recommend adding HKC as an excellent tool for any goalie.”

  • Bowen M.

    Player

    “Alex walks you through the mistakes you didn’t know you were making. He helps you fix them and improve your game. Self review is not effective and group video is not individualized. The one-on-one review with Alex is the best way to improve performance quickly.”

  • Erik Bradford

    (AHL)

    ”If anyone were to take a look at Alex's playing history you can clearly see he's a guy who statistically shouldn't have played professional hockey... the thing that allowed him to was his drive, and passion, to dissect the game in a way that others just can't!”

  • Parent

    “After seeing the frustration of our son continually falling down his teams depth chart we were introduced to HKC through a family friend. We immediately saw his confidence back, and passion to go to the rink. We can't thank the HKC team enough for reigniting the love for the game of hockey in our boy!”

  • Lachlan M.

    Player

    “Alex has improved my game and my future opportunities playing hockey. He taught me the importance of playing away from the puck and how to get it back with the chance to make plays!”

  • Parent

    “The HKC team gave my son the ability to use the tools he spends so much time working on. After continually going back to the same skills schools without a change in on ice game results we decided to take a chance on HKC. Our son went from being a bottom line player with 1 goal the previous season to leading his team in points.”

  • Kevin Gate

    (SAC Varsity Hockey Assistant Coach)

    “Seeing top talent come into the SAC Varsity program every year, the first thing I wish parents spent time on, is learning the game. Every kid nowadays has the tools/skills on ice but putting it together, is what separates some from excelling and others from not. HKC should be the basis every player builds their foundation upon.”

  • Alison D.

    Parent

    ”Coach Alex always goes above and beyond to support my son, develop his hockey skills and be his best on and off the ice. What truly sets Alex apart is his patience, positive and supportive nature, and all his effort to make players “better.” Alex is always creative, thinks outside the box, and has been a wonderful resource for our family. . . I would highly recommend Coach Alex to any player that wants to improve their skills and game!”
