Committed to your success
both on and off the ice
A full-service hockey development group with a passion for generating the most opportunity for developmental advancement. Our on-ice and off-ice player development program ensures our athletes receive the highest quality of resources to aid in their growth.
A 360-degree development approach
We appreciate that the longevity of overall success is contingent on the quality of effective guidance and network, that we strive to build everyday. We maintain close relationships with all of our athletes in order to comprehend their specific aspirations on and off the ice and to build the most effective strategies to achieve them.
Goal Setting and Planning
Our goal setting plan encapsulates everything our on-ice and off-ice programs will consist of. As we ask our players to set the bar high for themselves, we walk them through yearly goals that consist of year-round work. There will be three stages of goal setting (beginning, middle and end of season). During the three stages, an evaluation of the athletes processes and outcome will be conducted.
On-ice Development
We pride ourselves on developing hockey players on-ice skill ability that will translate into gameplay. We do this with the intention on helping our players achieve their hockey goals. Whether its mid-season or during the summer, our players will constantly be improving on their skills through our on-ice player development program either in small groups or privately.
Off-ice Development
Off-Ice Training: The D’Ercole Group’s off-ice athletic partnerships aids in the players development of strength, speed, mobility while promoting injury prevention.
Video and Analytics: The second component to our off-ice development involves in depth personal video sessions with our players. Our video and analytics practice aids and develops the growth of our athletes by way of visualizing their areas of improvement.
Mental Development
This segment of our program focuses specifically on providing our athletes outlets to break through their mental barriers, increase confidence, and to help them identify their belief in themselves.
