Three Olympic-style block training weeks
Intensive, high-volume training blocks focus on skill repetition, situational play, and off-ice performance (strength, mobility, explosiveness). Blocks are spaced through the season to allow for learning, implementation, and measurable progress between sessions.
Travel tournament
A competitive weekend designed to test new skills in game environments, build resilience, and provide exposure against other programs. Tournament entry is included; travel and accommodations are organized separately with guidance from SDR staff.
Expert-led coaching & guest expert sessions
All training is delivered by coaches with pro and college experience who lead technical demonstrations, tactical breakdowns, and film analysis. Guest PWHL/NCAA players and coaches join for focused Q&A and topic-specific talks so athletes hear practical, coach-driven insight from those who’ve played and coached at the next level.
Things are changing!
