Off Ice Hockey
Off-ice training · U7 to U18

The right training at the right age.

A structured 24-week home program, written separately for each age group. Every day is laid out drill by drill on the player's own phone, with the coaching cues, timers and reasoning built in.

Structure for the off-ice hours

On the ice there's a coach. In the driveway or in the basement there's a stick and good intentions. Off Ice Hockey gives those hours a plan.

01

It progresses

Core drills have four levels a player earns by doing the work. A level changes what the drill asks for, not just the numbers.

02

It measures progress

Seven skills tests, repeated through the program in the same conditions, show whether the work is paying off.

03

More than shooting

Stickhandling every training day, varied game-like shooting, speed, strength, balance and hockey IQ.

04

It takes safety seriously

Injury-prevention work for hamstrings and groin from U13 up, growth-spurt tracking, and clear red flags for when to stop.

05

It fits real life

Practice-day, game-day, quick-session and indoor modes. A short session done beats a long one skipped.

06

Built for the whole family

Siblings train on the same phone or tablet, each with their own program and their own progress.

Four phases, 24 weeks

Base, Build, Sharpen, Maintain. Six weeks each, moving from learning the movements properly, to adding work, to game speed, to holding what's been built.

Built by age, not scaled down

Each program starts from where a player is developmentally, not from an adult routine made smaller.

U7 · U9

Play and patterns

Games, coordination and puck touches. No loading at the youngest age; bodyweight and bands from U9.

U11 · U13

Skills and growth

Skill work, movement patterns learned properly, and a close watch on growth spurts.

U15 · U18

Close to adult standards

Progressive strength, power and repeat-shift conditioning, with injury-prevention work for the hamstrings, groin and neck.

Six age groups

Volume, exercise choice and even the language change with each group.

U7
24–31 min · 3 days · 140 shots a week

Everything is a game: coordination, balance and first stickhandling. No weights and no fitness tests.

U9
45–54 min · 3 days · 251 shots a week

Real exercises introduced — squats, lunges, planks, bridges — with bodyweight and bands only.

U11
48–68 min · 4 days · 556 shots a week

A complete program: speed, stickhandling, shooting, bodyweight strength, passing, 1-on-1 play and hockey IQ.

U13
58–73 min · 4 days · 555 shots a week

Skill under speed and light external load, with growth tracking for the years growth spurts arrive.

U15
65–80 min · 5 days · 600 shots a week

Two full-body strength days a week, plus injury-prevention work for the hamstrings, groin and neck.

U18
71–83 min · 5 days · 805 shots a week

Essentially adult training: heavy progressive lifting, power, repeat-shift conditioning and a full lift log.

Times are the full training day, including a short shooting block that can be done any time of day. The other days are deliberately lighter: play days (U7 to U11) are for other sports plus a short shooting block, easy days (U13 to U18) are easy skating, balance and mobility, and rest days have no physical training and no shooting, just 10 to 25 minutes of video, visualisation and journaling. Shot totals are the full weekly target, which the first weeks build up to.

How it works
