At Stalwart Hockey, player development goes beyond skill work. It’s about building complete athletes who think the game faster, execute under pressure, and play with confidence in every situation.
Led by Chad Hillebrand (Director of Forward Development) and Gordie Whalen (Director of Defensemen Development), our Player Division delivers position-specific training that mirrors what elite programs and professional organizations emphasize every day.
Each session is tailored to the individual player, focusing on skating patterns, puck control, deception, shooting mechanics, and game IQ. Our goal is to refine the small details that create real results in competition.
Private Lessons starting at $100/session | Group Lessons starting at $50/session
