MAP Hockey Membership is built for athletes who are serious about their future in the game.
MAP Hockey is not designed for everyone. Membership provides a structured, high-performance environment where driven players train alongside other elite athletes, coached by a full-time staff of former professional players and coaches with decades of experience developing players at every level of the game.
For more than 20 years, MAP Hockey has developed players not just for the next season, but for the next level.
MAP Hockey operates year-round in two phases, bridging the gap between training and competition. The program does not stop when the season starts.
From the conclusion of the High School season through the Fall, with a flexible summer structure, MAP Athletes train inside a structured, progressive model that integrates:

MAP Hockey provides structure while allowing flexibility for athletes managing multiple commitments. Most players train approximately three days per week. Ice time is available up to five days per week for athletes who want to train more. Membership can be structured for each athlete.
Each training day includes:
Each on-ice session is intentionally designed to maximize development:
Development does not stop when an athlete leaves the ice. Full MAP members receive integrated strength and conditioning through Dark Horse Performance, where CSCS-certified coaches use advanced performance testing to identify each athlete’s individual needs.
Testing is bi-weekly throughout the training season, allowing coaches to continually adjust each athlete’s workout plan based on their progress and development.
Athletes build the strength, speed, power, mobility, and durability needed to perform at a higher level while reducing the limitations that can hold them back on the ice.
Because programming is individualized, athletes training side by side may complete different workouts based on what each athlete needs most.
MAP Hockey’s full-time coaching staff brings professional playing and coaching experience at the highest levels of the game. These are not part-time instructors. These coaches have played professionally, coached at the college and junior levels, and have dedicated their careers to developing elite hockey athletes.
All MAP Hockey coaches complete a structured onboarding process covering our development methodology, communication standards, and video evaluation process. Every coach who works with your athlete is MAP certified.
For athletes pursuing the next level, MAP Hockey Advisors provides dedicated college and junior hockey guidance.
MAP Hockey runs from the conclusion of the high school season through the fall.
