High Performance Hockey Academy

“SST put 18lbs of muscle on me in one summer while dropping my bodyfat 4% to  below 9%! I highly recommend SST to all hockey players who are SERIOUS in taking their game to the next  level! Thanks SST”

Andrew Campbell, Los Angeles Kings Defensemen

Maximum Speed Training

Hockey is a highly competitive sport with many players trying out for the best teams. One skill which will get a player noticed immediately is SPEED! Research has shown that maximum sprinting time off-ice is highly correlated to on-ice speed. The HPH program is designed to enhance a player’s maximum speed through sprinting drills and overspeed training.

Acceleration Training

A player’s ability to develop first stride acceleration as well as improving separation from another player are two critical factors in their success. The player who is able to get to the puck first or separate quickly from a defender is highly sought after by top-level coaches. Acceleration is improved by increasing strength in the muscles that are specific to meet those demands. The HPH program utilizes techniques such as resisted running, basic strength training, farmer’s walks and sled training to improve on-ice acceleration.

Power Development

Power = Strength x Speed. A powerful hockey player is not only quick and explosive but is able to hit hard and have a powerful shot. The HPH program teaches athletes to develop this power in two ways through plyometrics and strength development. SST uses plyometrics to utilize the stretch shortening cycle improving maximum speed and we show athletes strength exercises such as “the sled”, “sandbags” and “super yolks” ultimately developing a more powerful hockey player.

From 8 year olds to NHL players, the HPH program develops your speed, acceleration and power so that you can exceed the demands of your game.

SST’s HPH program has helped many athletes in their pursuit of being drafted or receives scholarships. In Burlington alone in the last two years, 10 draftees in the OHL have trained at SST and another four players who received scholarships are all SST clients! Here is what only a couple have to say about SST and the HPH program:

”I’ve been to numerous gyms and SST is the BEST place to gain not only strength, but confidence and mental awareness. As a defenseman, SST has helped build my strength so that I come out on top in every battle throughout every game. Larry has helped take me from Jr. B hockey to Ohio State and hopefully to the NHL. I’ve gained weight, strength, confidence and a desire to succeed because of SST and all they’ve done for me. I’m no longer scared to mix it up in the corners or anywhere else on the ice because I know I’m strong enough for anyone who wants to battle.”                                                                                                                                Mike Folkes, Ohio State University

“SST is a great atmosphere for athletes of any age and sport. Over the previous summer they really focused on my speed and has really improved my explosiveness. Always a great team to work with to improve your game.”

Kyle Clifford, LA Kings 35th Overall Draft Pick

” The one thing that impresses me most about this program is the unending search for new information and knowledge that ultimately gets transferred to the student or athlete in this case. Larry is the most knowledgeable trainer I have met and worked with to date and his philosophy is one that I find consistent with the needs of my athletes and my interests as a coach and developer of talent.”
