Private Training

Private training is great for:

• Mites through High School – boys and girls, all positions

• Players who feel “stuck” and want to break through a plateau

• Hard-workers who want more than just standard team practices

• Players returning from injury who need a smart, safe ramp-up

• Goalies who need position-specific attention

If your player is motivated and wants to improve, we’ll meet them there.

Each session is built around your player’s needs, but common focus areas include:​

Skating & Edges

• Balance, stride power, and speed

• First three steps / acceleration

• Lateral movement, crossovers, transitions

Puck Skills

• Puck control at speed

• Deception and hands in tight spaces

• Receiving and making passes under pressure

Shooting & Scoring

• Shot mechanics and quick release

• Shooting in stride and off both feet

• Net-front scoring habits and rebounds

Hockey IQ & Compete

• Reading pressure and making quicker decisions

• Puck support, spacing, and “off-puck” habits

• Compete level, body positioning, and confidence

Position-Specific Work

• Defense: gaps, angling, retrievals, breakouts

• Forwards: entries, timing, scoring areas

• Goalies: movement, tracking, rebound control, game reads

We keep things simple and player-focused:

1. Initial Conversation
   You share your player’s age, level, position, and goals (short form or email).

2. Coach Match & Plan
   We pair your player with a Honey Badgers coach who fits their needs and build a short development plan (3–5 sessions to start).

3. On-Ice Sessions

   • Typically 45–60 minutes

   • High-repetition drills, small-area games, and lots of puck touches

   • Clear teaching, positive coaching, and instant feedback

4. Feedback & Progress Tracking
   After each block of sessions, you’ll get a quick summary of what we worked on and what’s next.

​

Note: Ice booking and exact pricing depend on rink, time, and coach. We’ll walk you through options when you inquire.

1. Individual Lessons (1:1)

Perfect for deep technical work and rapid improvement.

• 1 player, 1 coach

• Highly focused on specific skills or positions

• Great for players with clear goals (e.g., “improve edges,” “get quicker release,” “prepare for tryouts”)

Recommended for: motivated players who want maximum attention.

​

2. Small Group Lessons (2–4 Skaters)

Ideal for teammates or friends who like training together.

• 2–4 players, 1 coach

• Still lots of touches and feedback, with game-like drills

• Adds decision-making, competition, and fun

Recommended for: friends/teammates at a similar level.

​

3. Goalie-Specific Lessons

Dialed-in training for the most important position on the ice.

• 1–2 goalies per coach

• Movement, angles, tracking, post play

• Rebound control and game-situational reps

• Optional: shooters added for more realistic looks

Recommended for: goalies who want real, structured coaching (not just “facing shots”).
