The Hockey Development Company is an industry leader in training players and coaches in the art and science of hockey skating.  We are able to structure customized programs to meet the needs of your association, team, coaches and players. 

Skating is the most fundamental skill in the game of hockey - if you can't skate, you can't play the game. The goal of every Hockey Development Company skating program is to teach players proper skating technique and provide coaches with a solid understanding of how to teach hockey's most important skill.

Skating Development Programs

The Hockey Development Company's Paul Willett and members of our professional staff are available to come to your association to conduct a power skating clinic designed to meet the needs of your players and coaches. Options available to associations include:

bulletFull Week Skating Development Program
bulletWeekend Skating Development Program
bulletSingle Day Training Sessions
bulletOne or Two Day Coaching Development Program

The most popular option is the one-week Skating Development Program. Through this program, you can provide a professionally run power skating clinic in your building at a per-player cost that can be less than one third of what a player may pay to attend a similar clinic in a neighboring community.


Here's a quick look at how our typical Skating Development Program is structured:

The Hockey Development Company provides:

bulletComplete on-ice program design and implementation.
bulletOur coaches will lead all sessions for players and coaches.
bulletAll training material and handouts.
bulletAll on-ice training equipment.

Your group or association provides:

bulletAll necessary ice time.
bulletMarket the program to your club or association.
bulletCoaches willing to learn in a hands-on environment. Coaches will come on the ice and learn how to teach the skills their players are learning. This is the optimal way to continue the learning experience for your players throughout the year.
bulletA minimum guarantee of 20 players (maximum of 30) per group. Typically, a two-group minimum is required to conduct the one-week Skating Development Program.

The Hockey Development Company provides services for a pre-determined, per-player fee or negotiated flat fee. Your group or association determines what to charge each player. Any profits go back to the group or association. Our programs can be used as as fundraiser in addition to a wonderful training tool for players and coaches.

Our Coaching Development Program provides your association's coaches with one or two days of in-depth classroom and on-ice training.  We teach your coaches how to train their players to be better skaters and provide them with insight into the science of skating.
