Programs for 8U and up
There just isn’t enough time during the typical on-ice practice to work on the little things...the small adjustments that improve your shot, split/peripheral vision, stick intensity, hand-eye coordination, etc...the necessary components to take your game to the next level. During our small group training sessions, our goal is to provide players with the tools to improve their skills in these areas in a "team" atmosphere that is both intense and fun. We offer a couple options for players looking to train with us.

Private Training (on-going)
Private Training sessions are available each week for one-on-one training with Route 1 staff. During these sessions, focus can be on a specific skill or area of the game that needs improvement, or a general training session on the ice. Sign up for private training online.
Cost: $60/hour for one skater. Up to 3 additional players can be added to the session for $15/skater. Private training sessions are 1 hour in length.
Accelerate Program (Will be back for Summer 2024)
Our accelerate program was our original summer training program and we are bringing it back. This 8 week program consists of 1 off-ice session and 1 on-ice each week. Off-ice training will dedicate one portion to hockey specific strength, radio, plyometrics and agility. The second portion to stick skill work...shooting, stick handling, puck control, proper mechanics. Video teaching will also be part of this program to increase players hockey IQ. On-ice sessions will be devoted to improving skating mechanics and speed, followed by drills and station work. This program is meant to be high-intensity and for those players looking to take their game to the next level. There will be an opportunity for Accelerate players to participate in a summer tournament (optional) as part of the Route 1 team (dates/cost TBD). During registration, players will choose one off-ice session (note the Wednesday evening session will be combined age groups), on-ice will be Friday mornings (exact time coming soon). Makeup sessions will be available for session missed.
OTHER TRAINING OPTIONS
Join A Small Group
Choose an existing small group from our schedule to join for the session. Sessions are split up by birth year, so simply sign up online to join the session. We like to keep age range of players close for instructional purposes, but players of all skill levels are able to be in the same group and work at their own pace. If you need help finding a group, email ajaitken@route1hockey.com.
