Video analysis serves as a powerful mirror that allows players to see their game from an entirely new perspective, helping them understand both their strengths and areas needing improvement in real-time scenarios. Through detailed video review sessions, players can break down specific moments of their performance, studying everything from their skating mechanics and positioning to their decision-making process in game situations, ultimately accelerating their learning curve far beyond what's possible through practice alone. The visual feedback provided through video analysis is particularly valuable because it helps players develop a deeper understanding of the game's nuances, allowing them to make more intelligent on-ice decisions and adjust their techniques based on concrete evidence rather than just feel or memory.

R.C.T™ separates good players from great ones by focusing on the nuanced inside game. It Unlocks each player’s full potential through a proven innovative training methodology that mirrors the demands of today’s game.
Players like Connor McDavid are prime examples of how this translates to the ice.
Reactive Countering Training™ focuses on the often-overlooked but crucial ability to “Fire Multiple Motor Skills Simultaneously”—a key element for mastering the high-speed, inside-game skills essential in today’s hockey.
Our 17-week 8U Development Program is designed to introduce young players to the fundamentals of hockey in a fun and engaging environment. Each week, participants will focus on core skills such as skating, stickhandling, passing, and shooting, while also learning the importance of teamwork and sportsmanship in one hour on ice sessions. The program is structured with progressive drills and small-area games to ensure skill development and confidence-building. With an emphasis on fostering a love for the game, this program provides a solid foundation for young athletes to grow as players and teammates.
