What is The Better-to-Best Hockey Program?
Better Player's Better to Best Programs are designed for the hockey player that is dedicated to getting better and becoming the best they possibly can be. The main focus of all Better Player programs is skating. We teach all players the basic fundamentals and mechanics of a powerful, strong skating stride. Once we have that in place, we work to make it better. We add edge control, body control, foot speed, explosiveness and power to that solid basic platform. This gives us the best platform to train and create the best players on the ice. At better player we realize the importance of skating but we also know that if you're always the first to the puck you also need to be able to do something with it when you get there. So we teach Shooting, Passing, Puck handling and mental aspects of the game to all players. Anybody can do better but Better Player will make you the BEST!
