Speed is the pre-requisite of success for Hockey Players.
There’s a new era of hockey player and they’re faster, more dynamic, and more explosive than ever before.
Elite speed is no longer just a valuable asset in today’s game – it’s a necessity to play at the next level.
If you want to take your game to the next level, then it’s time to take your speed to the next level – and all it starts with developing explosive power.
Have you ever felt like you're doing the right things, but something's holding you back from the next level?
That was the story for John, one of our early clients. He had just finished his second season as a point-per-game winger in one of Canada’s top Junior leagues.
He wasn’t a flashy player. He didn’t particularly stand out with speed or skill, but he the consistent producer that team's need to win games.
But despite this, he had zero D1 offers, zero major junior offers, and zero NHL scouts wanting to chat after the game.
He came with all the production, but none of the attention or hype.
There was nothing inherent wrong with this. He was the kinda guy who rather win games than win personal accolades – but he had serious hockey ambitions & knew he could play at the next level...
“I don't care that I'm not that "hype" player, I've never been that.. but I just know I can play division 1. I’m as good as other guys around the league getting commits. Even most of my teammates are getting offers or talking to scouts after games, but for me it’s just crickets. I feel like something's missing, I just dunno what I have to do differently.”
He hadn’t been home in 2 off-seasons, but now sat in our gym office clearly dejected and uncertain about whether he should just accept that he wasn’t a D1 player or change something.
We encouraged him to have a conversation with his coach, get honest feedback on his game, and then we could chat further.
“He said he always recommends me to scouts when they ask about guys they should be watching, and is surprised I don’t have offers. He’s even asked a couple of Coaches and they say it’s a skating game in D1 and a big jump in speed – and they just don’t think my game could translate to the next level.”
This stung – but it was good feedback.
So we connected him with a local power skating coach and asked him to look at his skating to see where it could improve.
“He’s a great player & a smooth skater, of course we could clean up a couple of things, but honestly his problem is that he just doesn’t have that punch in his stride or first steps. It’s like he’s hitting the gas but his car just doesn’t have the horsepower to really let it rip.”
It was clear, it wasn't his on-ice mechanics holding him back – he had to develop explosive power.
So we offered to create him a program that would do just that. It was going to be different than workouts he was doing on his own or that he had done with his old school trainer – but if he committed to 12 weeks we knew he’d see the on-ice results he needed to elevate his game.
He was in.
So we crafted the perfect workout program to develop that explosive speed.
He committed to the process and the results paid off.
Each week he said he felt his first steps were getting faster. His skills coach started commenting about how his change of direction was more explosive & aggressive. When he got to training camp his Coaches kept commenting on how he was a completely different player – asking him where the “extra gas” came from.
Finally the season came around, where he put up 8 points in 3 of his first games. And that’s when it happened. The first D1 scout asked to chat after the game.
“They said they’d be watching me this season. He said that my coach had recommended he watch me last season but he just didn’t see the flash that would translate – but he’s super impressed with my game so far”.
He continued to show up on the score sheet and catch the attention of scouts.
By Christmas he had 36 points in 23 games & had talked to over 9 Division 1 coaches. The second half of the season came with 4 firm offers, including one from his dream school.
By committing to transforming his training, he had transformed his game, and ultimately trajectory in hockey.
He had earned a full ride to play Division 1 hockey.
The next season we had 4 of his teammates reach out for the same program. Their coach had recommended to “get on with whatever he’s doing” - a handful of pros he skated with in the summer also asked to get on the program.
Same process, similar results.
Not only did we keep getting emails from players saying how they loved the program and how it had a noticeable impact on their game – but we started to have junior and college players from across North America and pros from around the world emailing us for the program.
That’s when we decided we had to refine the program even further and take it to the next level so that we could give players anywhere in the world access to the exact formula to get faster, more explosive, and transform their game.
The Explosive Power Program was created.

I’ve always trained hard, lifted heavy, and felt strong on the ice… but got to a point that I felt that my training wasn’t helping me get faster. Working with Relentless Hockey taught me to train more athletically and transfer my strength into speed and explosiveness. I feel WAY FASTER out there and it’s been a complete difference maker in my game!
I’ve been very impressed with the relentless programs. In Slovenia we have very little hockey training like this, it’s either heavy bodybuilding work or light plyo work. I’ve really enjoyed that this program has it all. The strength work is very good for hockey players core and stability and getting strong on the ice. My stride and change of direction is one of the biggest impacts I’ve noticed. It feels way more explosive. Thank you for this program!
The best hockey training program I’ve ever followed. Other programs have gotten me strong but with relentless program I notice my performance improve on the ice. Core strength is very solid and speed has improved significantly. Good workouts with good challenge.
6 weeks in and I can already feel it on the ice.. It feels like I turned up my speed attribute on chell or all the sudden unlocked speed boost. Workouts are sweet. Always a challenge, always something new. But the on-ice results are what matter and I’m feeling it already! Can’t wait for this season.
I was mid-pack at our pre-summer testing and literally was top 3 for every single test at training camp. All my coaches have commented on having an “extra gear” on the ice too.. I’m more explosive than I’ve ever been and can feel the impact on my game. So fired up heading into this season, thanks fellas!
I’ve always worked hard off the ice but having access to Relentless Hockey has taken my training to the next level. Getting faster was my top priority this off-season and this was the perfect game plan to get me where I wanted to be. Not only did workouts help me get stronger and more explosive, but the mobility/prehab work has me feeling fantastic. This is exactly what I needed!
