Variable Goals Training (VGT): A Unique Approach to Hockey Development

For the last 7 or 8 years, 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 individual skill development to build a strong foundation for the upcoming season.

Shifting Focus as the Season Progresses

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

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.
