On-Ice Development Strategy

Upfront Sports aims to develop the next generation of athletes through passionate coaching and genuine coach-athlete relationships. We have developed a unique approach to player development for all ages. Focusing on high attention to detail and quality over quantity, players will learn how to execute with consistency, pace and confidence with the puck. 

Hands down the best sessions I've seen out of any program since Max has started hockey, really impressive.

Defence Skills Sessions

The D skills we run involve edge work, puck-handling, and shooting, emphasizing correct posture (Eyes, Stick, Feet). Shifting our focus to position-specific skills and repeatedly executing situations that will happen in games creates confidence and comfort on the ice. A key feature is our video component with clips from on-ice sessions and NHL breakdown shared with our defencemen via Upfront+ between sessions.
