WHAT MAKES THIS DIFFERENT
Most hockey programs focus on random workouts, heavy lifting, or speed drills.
Our system follows a structured progression designed to build performance from the ground up — starting at the joint level and finishing with explosive skating speed.
Every program is built around:
- Joint-specific mobility training
- End-range strength development
- Multi-plane skating strength
- Progressive power training
- Speed & reactive development
- Structured conditioning
This ensures athletes build performance without sacrificing mobility, durability, or skating mechanics.
Client Success stories
“Hood Athletic Edge was a game changer for me. At this level, working hard isn’t enough — you have to work smart. This training has helped manage pain, stay healthy, and extend my longevity as an older player. What I’ve learned here is something I’ll carry with me long after my hockey career.”

Joint Training
Build stronger, more resilient joints to move better, perform better, and stay pain-free.
THE HOCKEY PERFORMANCE SYSTEM
This progression ensures athletes peak at the right time heading into the season.
Phase 1
Tissue Resilience & Joint Prep
Restore mobility, build joint control, and prepare the body for loading.
Phase 2
Hypertrophy
Develop structural strength and build muscle in skating-specific positions.
Phase 3
Strength
Increase maximal force production through multi-plane and unilateral work.
Phase 4
Power
Convert strength into explosive skating ability.
Phase 5
Speed
Develop stride frequency, reactivity, and game-speed movement.

Client Success stories
“Training with Dylan helped me access ranges of motion I didn’t even know I had — and more importantly, add strength to those end ranges. His attention to detail and depth of knowledge has helped me become a stronger, more resilient athlete and reduce injury risk. I’ve seen huge improvements toward my personal goals.”

BUILT-IN HOCKEY CONDITIONING
All off-season programs include a structured conditioning component, with training volume and intensity dictated by the phase.
Athletes now have access to multiple training modalities, including:
- Bike
- Running
- Rowing
- Swimming
This allows for variation in training while targeting the same energy systems and performance outcomes.
Conditioning sessions include:
- Strength grind intervals for lower-body force capacity
- High-intensity sprints for acceleration and repeat power
- Mixed intervals combining both
This approach develops a powerful engine while minimizing unnecessary fatigue and avoiding interference with strength and power development.

OFF-SEASON PROGRAM OPTIONS
All programs follow the same structured development model.
Age-Specific Development
- U18 16 Week Off-Season
- U15 12 Week Foundational Strength & Speed
WHY THIS WORKS
Most hockey programs focus on random workouts, heavy lifting, or speed drills.
Instead of chasing strength, speed, or mobility separately, this system builds them in the correct order:
Mobility → Stability → Strength → Power → Speed
This creates hockey athletes who are:
- Stronger on the ice
- Faster in transitions
- More explosive in first steps
- More durable throughout the season
- Better able to handle game demands
Client Success stories
Every player’s journey is unique, but the results are consistent. Hear directly from athletes and parents about how Hood Athletic Edge programs have improved performance, built confidence, and kept players healthy through long seasons.
“I noticed immediate improvements in my explosiveness and agility on the ice. The focus on functional mobility helped me stay healthy through the season and understand exactly what I need to maintain performance.”
Cody Schiavon
NCAA (Canisius College)
“After only six weeks on Dylan’s program, I doubled some of my national team testing results. I set a personal best in chin-ups and felt extremely resilient despite heavy hip loading.”
Jacquie Pierri
Italian National Team
“Hood Athletic Edge is a great program. In just a few weeks, I’ve noticed real improvements in my strength, speed, and mobility. It’s helped me develop as a complete player.”
