Specialty 'Good to Great' Clinics

The efficiency and effectiveness of Coach'sEdge training methods ensure that every skill development leads to natural transition and systematic play. Through years of experimentation and design, we have designed drills that move the player easily from skill development to systematic 5-man units. 

Every 'Good to Great' Clinic Incorporates:

  • Edge training & power skating techniques that train independent body parts to react to the speed & pressures of today's game.

  • Developing players at top speed, which translates to gameplay & develops their ability to make decisions under pressure.

  • Vision acuity training so the eys are scanning the visual field (ice surface) independent of the upper torso which is managing the puck & is independent of the lower body skating at full speed. This unique training method is specific to Coach's Edge and makes learning more fun, more game-specific & develops better players and teams. 

Coach's Edge clinics have a proven track record of success. Developing players at top speed that translates to today's game!
