Our training is designed to develop explosive speed while sharpening the skills that create separation, make plays, and finish scoring chances.

HOW X7 HOCKEY STRUCTURES TRAINING FOR MAXIMUM RESULTS

A high-energy, structured program designed to maximize development and game impact. Every session is built to push your player to compete, build confidence, and translate skills into real-game performance—while keeping training fun and engaging.

Here’s how we structure the training:

  • Skating Mechanics & Efficiency: Every session starts with refining stride mechanics, improving edge control, and maximizing power transfer to help players become more efficient skaters.

  • Overspeed Training: Players train at speeds beyond their comfort zone to develop explosive acceleration, balance, and control at high speeds.

  • Stick Skills & Scoring: Master precise puck control, quick-release shooting, and accurate passing through game-like drills that build confidence and composure under pressure.

  • Reactive Training (Power Edge Pro): Instead of predictable drills, players must adjust, react, and make decisions on the fly—building game-speed problem-solving skills.

  • Game Situations & Hockey IQ: Training transitions into real-game applications where players apply their refined skills under pressure, improving decision-making, positioning, and awareness.
