SEASONAL GROUP PROGRAMS

TRAIN TOGETHER
GROW ALL YEAR

Train with purpose every season. GR8’s seasonal hockey programs are designed to build skill, strength, and confidence—whether you’re preparing for tryouts or pushing hard in the off-season.

GR8 Seasonal Programs

Train Smarter, Every Season

GR8 Athletics offers structured hockey training programs across all four seasons to support consistent, long-term player development. Our seasonal approach allows athletes to train with intent year-round—whether they’re entering pre-season, maintaining in-season performance, or building power and precision during the off-season. Each phase is tailored to meet the physical and mental demands of that time of year, ensuring players train smart, avoid burnout, and continue progressing on and off the ice.

FALL SEASON

Pre-Season Performance

Prepare to hit the ice strong with our focused fall program designed to build momentum before the season begins. Athletes work on explosive starts, edge control, puck confidence, and aerobic conditioning to ensure they’re game-ready by opening day. Our coaches prioritize sharpness, stamina, and smart movement to help players stand out early.

  • Explosive starts & edge control
  • Puck confidence & movement under pressure
  • Aerobic conditioning & stamina
  • Position-specific drills (forwards, defense, goalies)
  • Injury prevention & mobility work

Ideal for: Players preparing for team tryouts or early-season performance

Timing: September to November

WINTER SEASON

In-Season Skill Refinement

During the grind of the season, our winter program helps athletes stay consistent, recover properly, and continue growing. We support in-game performance with lighter, technical-focused sessions that target mobility, mechanics, and decision-making. This program is built to complement team play—not compete with it.

  • Technical skill refinement (skating mechanics, puck control)
  • Mobility & recovery-based training
  • Game IQ & decision-making scenarios
  • Light off-ice conditioning
  • Small-area battle and positional awareness drills

Ideal for: Active youth and teen athletes in-season

Timing: December to February

SPRING SEASON

SPRING 
DEVELOPMENT

Spring is the season to reset and refocus. After a long year, we dial in on cleaning up habits, rebuilding strength, and introducing new skills with clarity and intention. Whether you’re bouncing back from injury, transitioning between levels, or just ready to grow, spring is your time to lay the groundwork.

  • Technical correction and skill isolation
  • Strength rebuilding & movement training
  • Controlled skill development without game fatigue
  • Hockey IQ growth through teaching-focused sessions
  • Low-volume, high-quality reps

Ideal for: All ages coming out of a season or preparing for summer

Timing: March to May

Summer SEASON

Off-Season 
AcceleratioN

Summer is where big gains are made. Our most intensive training block includes high-tempo on-ice sessions, off-ice performance work, and position-specific drills designed to prepare athletes for tryouts and next-level competition. From structured camps to focused small-group sessions, this is the phase where players separate themselves.

  • High-rep skill development (shooting, stickhandling, power skating)
  • Strength & speed training (off-ice)
  • Position-specific coaching & evaluation
  • Full training camps and small-group sessions
  • Mental toughness, leadership, and conditioning

Ideal for: Competitive athletes preparing for AAA, prep school, or next-level hockey

Timing: June to August
