Elite level training for 14 and older high-level hockey players

Specialized Training

Small Groups. Big Gains. At VSL, we never sacrifice your hockey player’s development for the bottom line. All sessions are done on full-ice to maximize your speed development, agility and full-rink awareness as you execute game-like scenarios with Shannon’s personally developed, unique drills.

These unique methods are developed with a deep understanding and application of exercise science, specifically biomechanics, neuromuscular development and physics, to ensure your skater will see quantifiable results, and will do so in days and weeks, not months and years. We believe in a data driven approach, with both quantitative and qualitative analytics to ensure each session is designed for maximum speed gains as you achieve optimal technique, and to help keep you at top speed for your entire game.

Speed skaters for decades have worked tirelessly on the ice, in wind tunnels and with off-ice modalities to learn the most efficient technique for speed and power on the ice. Learn why each step is important, and how you too can unleash the power of a perfect stride.

You’ll also learn to maintain speed while playmaking, carrying the puck through the neutral zone and gain explosive power while executing creative plays in the offensive zone.

Speed has never been more important than it is in today’s game. Become the fastest and best skater on the ice. Fly like MacKinnon. Dance like McDavid.

We offer year-round training programs for the most serious athletes as room allows. Please contact us for availability.

Camps

Camps consist of both long-term speed and strength development, and short, week-long intensives modeled after elite speed skating training at the Olympic Training Center. Learn to push your body like you never have before by participating in our six week spring Speed and Strength Camp, or our week long “Intensives.” All camps are designed for high-level skaters, and are limited to 14+ AAA, high school varsity, junior and college level players.

Players interested in participating in a camp should complete an interest form so we can get to know you and determine if you’re ready for our elite training camps.
