 Development

 

 

Train like an Olympian at the Athletic Republic Cornwall. One of the most advanced sports training facilities available.

 

     In sports, a tenth of a second, an eighth of an inch, or an additional burst of energy can make the difference between finishing first, winning the game, or even making the final cut for the team. Get that competitive edge and gain speed, power, agility, strength and stamina by training like a pro.

    

     Our program is developed for hockey athletes (ages 14-18) looking to bring their game and their training to a new level. This exciting period is the beginning of a journey that will forever have a direct effect on a student-athlete's overall success. Players skate on the skating treadmill using their own skates. They are taught proper stride mechanics at high speeds, stride efficiency and power to make them faster skaters.

     Players also learn visually by seeing themselves in a mirror and by using Dartfish video motion analysis. A valuable system when skaters cannot get on the ice. Our players ““Work Hard in a Smart Way”. Be one of the very few players in Canada to be trained using the best system that is being used across North America today.

 

    “Most coaches train players, make them do long skating drills when the game demands short sprints. Do you think you will see a 100 dash sprinter run long distance to train?” If you want to be quick, fast, and explosive, then train like a sprinter. We teach explosive power.

 

    To be better, you need to train several days a week for the whole hockey season both on and off the ice. Ask around, the best players seem always to be the hardest working players. "First to the rink and last to leave”

 

 

“In a hockey game, there is a change in Puck Possession every 8 seconds, causing numerous puck races and 200 puck battles. Winning teams have the players that win the one-on-one puck battles that exist all around the ice surface. Are YOU ready? OUR players will be!”

Director of Hockey, Giles Lascelle

 

 

 

Use state-of-the-art equipment and the Athletic Republic system

(2,500 professional and Olympic athletes trained in this system)

 

    The Academy helps the student-athlete reach their athletic potential through a series of exercises that enhance physical performance and hockey specific training protocols. Working in small groups and supervised by Giles Lascelle, an Athletic Republic Level III-certified coach, dedicated athletes will improve their speed, conditioning, skating mechanics, agility and coordination skills. With the Athletic Republic hockey training program, the average athlete will see a 2-4 inch increase in vertical jump, an increase on skating speed and a 50% reduction in recovery rates. “You won't find this state-of-the-art hockey athletic training centre in any other preparatory school.”
