Program overview

MaxPro Hockey Club presents an innovative skill development initiative for the 2024-2025 hockey season. Our comprehensive training program follows a progressive and sequential curriculum, addressing all facets of player development. To fully experience the program's benefits and achieve optimal results, participants are required to commit to the entire program in order to participate. 

Scheduled from September 2024 through February 2025, this program is meticulously crafted by Coach Max Gratchev. To maintain focused attention and ensure quality interaction, we will only accept 35 players for each program. However, there is one exception: our Foundation Skills program on Sundays from 3:00 PM to 5:00 PM will accommodate 25 players.

Open to players of all skill levels and team affiliations, this rigorous program provides a dedicated platform for honing hockey skills. Please note that the program exclusively focuses on on-ice training and does not include off-ice components. Join us on this journey of skill enhancement and player development!

If you're uncertain whether this program is a good match for your player, explore our Sunday Skills program this summer before committing to a full season of training. Participants can register for individual Sunday Skills sessions in June, July, and August 2024.
