Athletics
Giant Development Hockey is designed for dedicated student-athletes that want to develop their fundamental hockey skills through an advanced training program. Under the instruction and mentorship of former 17-year pro Jeff Smith, our training grounds combine innovative on and off-ice training and instruction.
About Our Program
GDH athletes are immersed in their training. With a robust training schedule on the ice, rigorous strength and conditioning program off the ice, and a leadership team with pro-level roots, we get athletes ready for the next level.
Day in the Life
Morning training begins with off ice warm ups. On ice hockey training and skills development sessions happen Monday through Thursday and Tuesdays have a second ice session after lunch.
With the busy travel hockey schedule, Fridays are reserved for mental preparation, video review, and yoga.
Our program gives athletes the opportunity to train, compete, and develop both on and off the ice, helping each player reach their full academic, hockey, and personal potential.
