Variable Goals Training (VGT) for Hockey Skill Development

For the last 7 or 8 years now, we have been perfecting a new and innovative way to challenge young hockey players to stimulate their read and react skills and puck handling creativity under authentic game-like conditions. We call this training method Variable Goals Training (VGT).

Focus on Individual Skill Development

This type of training is used to focus on the development of individual skills, which makes it very different from our team training practices. In the summer or at the start of the hockey season, we like to focus on this type of individual skill development to build a strong foundation for the coming season.

Adapting to the Hockey Season Progression

As the hockey season progresses, especially for older players, the practice time shifts more toward team tactics and game preparation. However, during the season, we continue to use these drills at regular intervals to maintain and fine-tune the player's individual skills.

Ideal for Younger Players

For younger players, these drills are ideal for use throughout the season, as most of the practice time will be devoted to individual skill development, allowing them to build a solid foundation for their hockey growth.
