Train with the Premier Strength and Speed Coaching Team

Maximize your summer training with some of the best coaches in the business, University of Denver Senior Associate Athletic Director of Sports Performance coach Matt Shaw (C.S.C.S.), and Speed and Power Skating coach Shannon Valerio, with a 3-week, 2-4 day a week camp.

Matt Shaw is perhaps one of the best strength and conditioning coaches in hockey. Nationally renowned, he has worked with the Univeristy of Denver NCAA D1 hockey team for over a decade, helping the team to two NCAA National Championships in 2017 and 2022.

Univeristy of Denver hockey players are consistently some of the fastest and most injury resistant in NCAA Division One hockey due to Coach Shaw’s vast understanding of hockey’s sport specific training needs. Because of his reputation, NHL players from all over the country make Denver their home in the summer to train with him.

Shannon Valerio has quickly established herself as the premier speed coach for hockey players, training some of the most elite youth players in the country. Her unique methods result in rapid speed and technique gains that are visible in days and weeks instead of months.

She has coached national champions at every level, from high school to USA Hockey champions to collegiate and players in the NHL. Her skaters have individually advanced to top AAA, Junior and NCAA collegiate teams.
