Join The Club.Get an edge on the competition this winter by joining the BYG Club!

What do you get?
A consistent enough schedule to make a real difference, yet sparse enough that you’ll never be overwhelmed, The BYG Club is designed to be the perfect complement to a high school player’s season. Club sessions are every Sunday evening, except on holidays. No high school sports are allowed to play on Sundays, so you know that your player can always make them.

At BYG, our skill instructors are stickhandling and shooting experts with years of experience training hockey players. The drills are intelligently designed and organized so that players aren’t just learning what each skill is supposed to look like; they’re also getting many repetitions in a short amount of time. Plus, they’ll be scrimmaging in our mini hockey rink where they’ll get more handles of the puck and be involved in more stick battles than they do when they’re on a big ice sheet. It’s great for aggressiveness along the boards and handling the puck in tight spaces. That’s what makes our winter training sessions different and more beneficial than the every day practice. And players need it more than ever once the season begins. Our BYG Club skill sessions give players confidence, and a place where they can be free to explore their creativity without the pressures of team performance on them. More than anything, BYG Club sessions give them something they can look forward to that’s just for them.

Smart Body Development                                                                                  
There’s two things that make BYG’s strength and conditioning workouts uniquely effective:

  1. Progressive Overload. Progressive overload is fitness industry shorthand for “progressively overloading the muscles”. In practice, that means we actually record on paper how much resistance the players are using and how many reps they’re accomplishing that particular week, and then we make sure that when they come back the next week they are accomplishing more. This is crucial because the human body is terrible at knowing whether it’s going 80% or 100%. To us, 80% makes our muscles burn just as much as 100%, and it feels just as awful! So, the tendency is for players to think that they’re going hard enough when their muscles are burning, instead of digging for those extra few reps. That’s why we track their progress; so that they know exactly how much resistance to do and how many reps they need to shoot for in order to improve by 10% each and every week. It’s also hugely motivating to be able to see exactly how far they’ve come!

  2. Anti-Core Training. You read that right. Most players have used their big core muscles a lot between playing sports, modern day gym class, and just running around being a kid. It’s the smaller muscles on the outer parts of the body and their limbs that tend to hold them back. The upper trapezius muscles, the side and rear shoulder muscles, and especially the forearm muscles, almost never get any direct work because the average trainer either doesn’t know how to work them or doesn’t prioritize them. Yet these muscles contribute more to stickhandling and shooting than any others.

We do spend time on the big muscles, too; particularly the big lower body muscles. We progressively overload the big, compound leg movements, such as the squat, which are often done without resistance in other training programs. Doing leg movements without resistance, however good they may be for conditioning, does not increase the size of the player’s leg muscles and, therefore, does not increase strength. Strength matters greatly for fluidity and for being strong on the puck. But it’s also the single best measure of how fast a player can skate, since speed = strength minus resistance. If your muscles can move a lot of weight, they can move your body fast.

That’s what so special about BYG’s Smart Body Development sessions – we train the right muscles and we train them right.
