Skill Development
Our programs focus on skating and Elite hockey skill development for players from Novice to Pro, teaching and emphasizing proper technique, form, speed, and skill in combination.
Pilot Mound Hockey Academy’s skating and skill development system is player centered, for maximum learning potential. All camps provide and implement a positive and productive learning environment for players to gain maximum benefits. Each skill is demonstrated with excellent technique, but will not stop there. It teaches players of all skill levels to break down their skating, stick handling, passing, and shooting into crucial components. Students are shown how to strengthen weak areas, so they can continue to grow and develop their skills and move on to more advanced abilities. The overall program has been designed to stretch and develop the ability of the player. This is a program for serious hockey players (whether you are in minor hockey or pursuing a career in junior) as this is not a learn-to-skate program.
All sessions will be high tempo, but allow players to be challenged and develop at their own individual pace. The program will not only improve the players’s skills but also equip them with the tools for MAXIMUM PERFORMANCE ON ICE.
2026-2027
Pilot Mound Hockey Academy's Skill Development Program provides athletes with a unique and dynamic training experience focused on skating and elite hockey skill development. Developed by PMHA staff, coaches, and players who share a passion for the game, the program is designed to help players build a strong foundation while advancing their performance in all aspects of hockey.
Our curriculum emphasizes proper technique, mechanics, speed, and execution as they directly apply to game situations. Rather than simply teaching the end result of a skill, our instructors focus on the fundamental building blocks required for long-term success. By developing a deeper understanding of how and why skills are performed, players are able to accelerate their learning, improve more efficiently, and reach new levels of performance.
Each session is delivered in a positive, challenging, and productive learning environment where athletes are encouraged to push their limits and maximize their development. Through detailed instruction, purposeful drills, and game-specific training, players gain the confidence and tools needed to succeed on the ice.
