A Focus On Stickhandling and Shooting

In today’s hockey landscape, stickhandling and shooting skills set players apart. Build Your Game owner and lead trainer Dave Perri gives expert guidance and ensures players have the countless repetitions needed to master the fine motor coordination required.

Competition and FUN

At Build Your Game, our players don't just mindlessly do drills; they hone their competitive edge as they race each other, play small games and even compete in live scrimmages!

Science based Strength Training

Our strength training is guided by modern training science. We teach players to track the resistance of an exercise to make sure it progressively increases as weeks go by, push sets within 1-3 reps of muscular failure, and take a proper rest between sets so that cardio doesn’t interfere.

A dryland rink like ours doesn’t exist anywhere else in the world! The small dimensions keep every player in the action, maximizing puck handles. It forces them to think quickly and really challenges their hand skills, allowing them to work on things like:

A ONE-OF-A-KIND RINK

THE DRYLAND ADVANTAGE

When done well, dryland training helps players get more repetitions in a shorter amount of time. It isolates the upper body and allows players to focus on their hand skills. Players can more clearly hear, understand and execute instruction than when they’re on the ice.

  • Situational awareness
  • Battling for the puck
  • Using the stick in a defensive manner

His ability to relate to players of all levels, mites on up to the pros, helped him design a program that effectively transfers his knowledge of hockey technique.

PARENT

Our daughter started training with Dave this fall and the improvements in stick handling and confidence were noticeable right away. The small training groups allows the BYG trainer the ability to focus on all the students at one time where as other programs allow large trainer to instructor ratios so there is less instruction time individually. We have done some other larger training with some well known trainers and will only go with Dave and BYG. They are committed to helping your child improve and you will see a significant difference in a short time. I know we did with Emily.

Dave is an amazing coach. He has a great gift to connect with the kids and teach to their level. My son’s game is been built a lot differently since he started last year with Dave and he was able to jump up a couple levels to a higher team based on his skill set he’s learned from Build your Game. We look to continue our journey with Dave. Give him a try one time and your hockey player will love it!

PARENT

BRIAN D.

Training at Build Your Game hockey was a fantastic experience that shaped my skills as a player, and provided me with a framework and mindset of how to approach improvement in all aspects of life. Dave is highly credible and knowledgeable in hockey skill development, and in how we best learn new skills. Going to his on or off-ice sessions always provided me with an opportunity for growth and development, and his ability to build meaningful relationships turned it into something beyond just trying to get better at hockey. You feel like you're a part of something.
