Functional Hockey... bridging the gap between systems and individual development!

From our perspective, functional training for the game of hockey should center around flow and tempo.  The ability
to apply your skill base in the context of the game (ie. the development of “hockey sense”) is the core ingredient to
becoming a successful hockey player.

With this in mind, our hockey training programs are designed using a high-tempo, high-flow philosophy.  High-
tempo drills allow players to execute offensive and defensive skills at a game-like pace, thereby developing a
hockey-specific training effect.  High flow drills elicit game-like responses, ensure maximum player participation,
and create a higher quality and quantity of repetitions for optimal skill development.

Using our unique hockey practice and hockey drill philosophy, Functional Hockey strives to develop players that
are creative, problem-solvers and good decision makers, leading to a more skillful game for the future of hockey.
