ON-ICE TRAINING • OFF-ICE TRAINING • MINDSET COACHING

on-ice development

Our focus is on quality and enjoyment, combining skill development with hockey philosophy and mindset training. On the ice, we’ll build fundamental skills while exploring elite techniques, competition, and professional nuances, emphasizing habits even the best players maintain. Noah shares insights on mindset shifts and the tendencies of great players that distinguish good from great athletes.

This program helps players work smarter, maximize potential, and tailor their game to unique strengths. By understanding habits specific to the pro level, players can make adjustments that elevate performance. Our goal is to help every player discover what works best for them. The program will have a focus on defence and forward specific drills to ensure you’re getting the most out of the program no matter your position.

off-ice development

Our program is built to help players develop elite training habits, master proper nutrition, and foster a sense of community while building strength and power. Workouts at the Canmore Rec Center Gym (Monday, Wednesday, and Friday) focus on developing strength and power, while sessions at Lions Park Field (Tuesday and Thursday) emphasize speed, mobility, and hockey-specific injury prevention. These sessions target key areas like hips, groins, shoulders, and neck to keep players strong and injury-free.

Players will track progress, body weight, and nutrition through the Trainerize app, ensuring consistent improvement—even when away. This summer, we’re offering even more benefits. First, we’ve added detailed fitness testing at the start and end of the program to identify specific needs and measure gains in strength and speed. Second, a local physiotherapist will join us once a week to help players rehab injuries or prevent them before they happen.

This program is designed to give players every tool they need to improve, stay healthy, and take their game to the next level.

mindset development

Co-founders Noah and Sam firmly believe that a player’s mindset is their most valuable asset. The hockey journey is full of challenges—whether it’s choosing the right team, handling personal setbacks, dealing with being a healthy scratch, or facing the many uncertainties that come with the game. Our goal is to ensure players are mentally prepared to tackle these obstacles head-on.

We provide practical, actionable strategies that help players focus on what truly matters. Too often, players are consumed by worry—fear of making mistakes, concern over slow progress, or anxiety about whether a coach approves of them. Our approach shifts this mindset, guiding players to focus on the present moment. By fostering gratitude, presence, and a task-oriented mentality instead of a goal-obsessed one, athletes can unlock new levels of success both on and off the ice.

Learning to embrace the present moment allows players to put in the necessary work, find their flow, and play without tension. This mindset not only elevates their performance but also helps them enjoy the process, unlocking their full potential as both hockey players and individuals.

TESTIMONIAL

TESTIMONIAL

“BE A PRO IS BY FAR THE BEST OPTION IN THE BOW VALLEY”

“I signed up for Be a Pro because professional players were running the ice times—not just as coaches but as players pushing themselves to improve alongside us. After completing the program, I became more confident in my ability to make plays, especially when competing against top-level players. I’m now better at holding on to the puck, a more efficient skater—especially when turning—and more capable of pushing myself to play at a higher level.”

“I highly recommend it to anyone in the Bow Valley or Calgary area looking for a summer of skill development and quality workouts!”

“I was looking for quality ice times in the Canmore or Calgary area to have a productive summer of on-ice skill development. Be a Pro delivered exactly that. The skates were well-structured, and everyone was focused on getting better. I had plenty of ice time to work on my individual skills—not just maintaining but building on what I’d developed during the previous season. Knowing Sam and Noah and how great they are made it an easy decision to train with them. By the end of the summer, I felt like my puck skills had improved significantly thanks to the focused work I put in.”

  • You’ll receive off-ice training plans through the Trainerize app to complete on your own. This ensures you’re ready to start the program at full intensity.

  • No need! Jerseys and socks are provided. Bring your own workout gear, though we’re exploring partnerships to potentially supply this as well.

  • The program is tailored for competitive players—high end U18, junior, collegiate, or pro—who are serious about taking their game to the next level.

  • Yes, recovery is built into the program. You’ll have access to physiotherapists and personalized prehab plans to keep you in peak condition.

  • We use comprehensive fitness testing and track performance metrics like weights lifted and body composition to monitor your development.

  • No surprises—everything is included in the program fees.

  • Of course! Coaches are always available for feedback, advice, and support to maximize your experience.

  • We do offer an on-ice-only option; however, the pricing per session is higher. This is because we strongly encourage all players to fully commit to the complete program. Players who immerse themselves in both the on-ice training and off-ice workouts experience significantly greater physical and mental benefits, making the program far more impactful overall.

  • This is the biggest thing we wanted to improve upon from last summer. This summer training times are the same all summer. This makes it far easier for athletes to get into a routine and plan work and social schedules around the program. The only difference week to week will be the occasional day off for bank holidays.
