USA Hockey and the National Hockey League have a mutual interest in the development of American hockey players. We are making an investment in

the future.

5 Trainable Physical Capacities

• Suppleness (Flexibility)• Speed• Skill• Stamina• Strength

All can be developed at all Developmental Ages. However, there are Windows of Opportunity for each Physical Capacity where Trainability is Optimized


Suppleness (Flexibility)

Always trainable but significantly declines with ageOptimal trainability 6 – 10 (Dr. K. Russel)Special attention during PHV


Speed Always trainable but declines with ageCritical window of accelerated adaptation to speed training:Males:

- Window 1: 7 - 9 years of age- Window 2: 13 – 16 years of age

Females:- Window 1: 6 – 8 years of age- Window 2: 11 – 13 years of age


Speed Window 1 is agility, quickness window.

Change of direction, linear, lateral and multi directional speed

Segmental speedDuration of intervals less then 5 seconds

Window 2 is anaerobic lactic power and capacity window

Linear, lateral, multi directional and chaotic speedDuration of intervals 5 – 20 seconds

Athletic Development

Coordination – The ability to perform complex movements quickly, learn new movements and quickly switch from one set of movements to another (last is important to agility)

“Defining coordination is difficult – recognizing it’s absence is easy”


Coordination, and the abilities that make it up, are formed early

Boys have the greatest increases 8-9 and then again 11-12

All Systems are Always TrainableOnset of Adolescence begins decline Coordination development ends 16-18 based upon biological age

Sensitive Periods - Coordination Elements


Core SkillsIt is has been shown across multiple sports that better core skills provide enhanced decision making capacityDecision and Execution: Skills need to be Integrated not Isolated

Perception / Decision Making

Skill Execution / Action


Playing Surface to fit the Player

A pro-size ball measures 28 inches, while a youth-size ball measures 24 inches.

Field size for U-8 runs between (20yds TO 25yds) & (30yds TO 40yds) while the pro-size International field is between (70yds TO 80yds) & (110yds TO 120yds)

In pro baseball, the distance from the pitcher’s mound to home plate is 60’6”, while in Little League it’s only 46 feet.

Pro base lines are 90 feet while Little League the base line are 60 feet.

A pro basketball hoop measures 10 feet high. Younger kids play with a hoop that’s as much as 2 feet lower. They also play cross court.

8 & Under - Mites


8 & Under - Mites

‘FUNdamentals’ StageFundamental Movement Skills (FMS)

A, B, C’s – Agility, Balance & CoordinationFlexibility

Optimal window is ‘Speed 1’ agility, quickness, change of direction, <5 second intervals

Off-ice gymnasium 1x per week @ 30 min prior to practice (A, B, C’s + Speed)

Play multiple sports – 25% hockey/ 75% other sportsRunning, gymnastics, swimming, skiing, soccer


8 & Under – Mites (cont.)

30 – 50+ players each practice session2-3 Ice sessions per week50 min ice sessions5 month’s = 20 weeks per season 50 to 60 ice touchesMin 16 cross-ice games & 34 practicesMax 20 cross-ice games & 40 practices9 to 13 players/team; no full time goalies

Every other shift if possible


10 & Under - Squirts

‘Learning to Train’ StageOptimal window for training = ‘Skills’ (9-12 yrs)

motor coordinationLearning Fundamental Sports Skills

Throwing, striking, kickingPlay multiple sports Off-ice training

2x’s / wk @ 30 – 40 min before practiceFocus on athleticism & hockey skills

Small area games = decision making skills


10 & Under – Squirts (cont.)

3 - 4 Ice sessions per week60 min ice sessions6 - 7 month season = 24 – 28 weeks95 to 100 ice sessions (70/30 ratio)75 to 80 practices 25 games10-12 skaters & 1 goalie per teamIncreases puck touches / participation/ development


12 & Under - Peewee

‘Learning To Train’ stage (continued)Optimal window is ‘Skills’ (9-12 yrs)

Always trainable but declines with age starting at growth spurt

Learning Fundamental Sports SkillsStill individual development focused/not outcomeAdd complexity to skills, combine with decision making skills


‘Learning To Train’: 9 – 12 yrs

Track height measurements every 3 mo.Growth spurt lasts 18 – 24 mo. (typically)Promote healthy eating habitsAdequate sleep – 10 hrs/ nightKeep the top level as broad as possible

Allows better players greater successPushes lesser players to emulate

All levels should receive similar number of ice sessions


12 & Under – Peewee (cont.)

4 Ice sessions per week60 min ice sessions7 month season105 to 120 ice touches (70/30 ratio)80 to 90 practices 2-3 teams per = 30 - 45 players

‘Training to Train’ Stage

Ages 11-15 female; Ages 12-16 male Building the ‘Engine’ & consolidating sports skillsOptimal window for ‘Stamina/endurance’ (12 – 13 yrs based upon biological age)

Window to aerobic training begins with onset of PHV.. but always trainable (be hockey specific…we are a sprint sport)

Optimal training window for ‘Speed 2’ (13 – 16 yrs)Anaerobic lactic power & capacity; linear, lateral, multi-directional, chaotic speed, 5 – 20 seconds

Optimal window for ‘Strength’ 12 – 18 months after PHV


Train to Train Stage: 12 – 16 yrs

Start to specialize in hockey towards end of stageDevelop Strong technical skillsConsider growth spurt programming – possible decrease in coordination may be expected during growth spurtMonitor & train flexibility given rapid growth of bones, tendons, ligaments & muscles


14 & Under / 16 & Under

160 total ice sessions4 – 5 per week9 Months training and competition calendar120 practices and 40 to 50 games16 skaters and two goalies per team


Learning To Compete: 16 – 18 yrs

Optimizing the ‘engine’ & refining sport skillsSpeed window #2 in early stageStrength window 12 – 18 months after PHVRefine technical skillsGain confidence in competitive situationsGood decision making & game managementMonitor development of endurance, strength & speedMonitor fitness – endurance, core strength, flexibility
