Our Philosophy
Since our inception in 2012, Velocity Hockey Academy has maintained the same philosophy. We focus on individual player development above all else. We view ourselves as a program that can significantly elevate a player’s game, all with the goal of advancing to the junior level, prep school or college of their dreams. We want every player in the program to develop as much as possible on and off the ice throughout their time with us.
2026-2027 Program Details
-
Our season-long practice plan remains consistent between both teams. We will lean heavily on individual technical skills as the forefront of every practice, which will cover roughly 65% of our total practice time. The remaining 35% will be divvied up between tactical skills, battles, team play, game scenarios and positional structure. It is critical that players understand the fundamental tactics of hockey as well as the Velocity style of play.
-
Each team will play over 50 games throughout the season. Our program will participate in events in Quebec, Ontario, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Alberta and British Columbia.
-
Each team will take part in 2 off-ice training sessions per week in partnership with Endurance Kinesiology. The goal of these sessions is to help players build and maintain muscle throughout the season, while enhancing their cardiovascular endurance, creating a more well-rounded athlete. The first session will be a baseline test so we can track their physical and nutritional progress throughout the season. There will be additional tests around the holiday break and at the conclusion of the season.
