THE TWIST DIFFERENCE

SPRING HIGH PERFORMANCE HOCKEY CAMP

What if we told you that we have the secret guaranteed to make you a better hockey player – stronger, faster, with more stamina, shot power and reactivity? You’d want in on that, wouldn’t you?

"TWIST'S Spring High Performance Hockey Camp is a 13-week dryland training camp that will give athletes the on-ice edge they are looking for"

For over 25 years, TWIST has been a household name in hockey strength and conditioning and it all started with the vision to grow the game through innovative, science-backed hockey training.
Our patented TWIST Hockey Training Systems have helped over 1000 junior hockey players make the jump to college or pro hockey. We have trained over 800 professional hockey players (including our own Vancouver Canucks) and had over 150 players drafted to the NHL.
Here at TWIST TriCities, we have made it our mission to help young athletes improve their athleticism and skills so that they can reach the highest level of hockey possible.

13 Weeks of Training

April 2 - June 27

Phase 1 – Building the Foundation April 2 – 25

A building will crumble without a strong foundation. Focus in this phase is on the fundamentals of perfecting movement patterns. Athletes’ movement patterns are assessed and corrective exercises are heavily coached. Aerobic based conditioning for overall endurance.

Phase 2 – Developing the Linked System April 30 - May 30

Building strength and muscle mass with the goal to get hockey strong. Using the movement patterns perfected in Phase 1, athletes work on full body lifts with an intro to Olympic lifting. Multi-directional movement patterns, acceleration, deceleration, plyometrics and anaerobic conditioning.

Phase 3 – Establishing Hockey Specific Movement Skills June 4 - June 27

Volume and intensity is slowly increased to prepare athletes for the demands of the summer hockey camp. High amplitude plyometrics + bar speed emphasis, cross over & rotational power development and anaerobic conditioning.

Hey hockey parents! How do you know this will work for your kid?

We get a lot of messages and feedback from parents who’s kids have had positive experiences and amazing results with our hockey camps. Here’s just a few.

Frequently Asked Questions

My kid is new to strength training, can they still participate?

Of course! We recommend starting with Phase 1 where they will learn fundamental movement patterns and get coached on corrective exercises.

What age group is this camp for?

This hockey camp is for players ages 9 and up. It is divided into two groups: Atom/PeeWee and Midget/Bantam/Junior/College

Do I have to register for all 3 phases?

You may register for one, two or all three phases, but to get the highest level of results from the training, we recommend registering for the full camp as each phase is designed to build off of the previous one.

How many hours and days of the week will my kid need to train?

The training sessions are 60 minutes in length on Tuesdays and Thursdays for the duration of the camp.

What if my kid is on the ice a lot? Will this be too much for them?

We recognize that spring schedules can be hectic, this is why we’ve kept this camp to two training sessions per week. The programming has been designed to achieve maximum results in less time while promoting recovery and performance. The perfect training program for Spring Hockey!

How is this camp different from your Youth Athlete Development classes?

While our Youth Athlete Development classes are athletic in nature, the programming is not hockey specific. Our hockey camp training programs focus on the unique needs of the sport of hockey – the conditioning, strength, power and agility needed to directly translate to on-ice performance.

Train Like the Pros

“After being drafted by the Vancouver Canucks, we were surprised at the physical development needed to succeed at the next level. It was very helpful to be exposed to Peter Twist’s leading edge program in our draft year. Twist’s hockey training system has helped us realize our full potential as players so that we could match up with the more dominant players today. We’ve both experienced significant improvements in strength, speed, power, balance, quickness and agility and conditioning.”

“Pete has by far the best sport-specific training I’ve ever experienced. The program is designed for me as a hockey player, to improve my on-ice performance.”

“Twist helped me back from a broken leg in a very short period of time returning with a new performance level in games and to also win the team’s Top Conditioned award! Twist’s knowledge is well respected by all the players on the team. He knows how to create off-ice workouts to achieve great on-ice success. The mulit-joint rotary exercises funnel power right into my wrist shot!”

“Peter Twist and the staff at Twist have been instrumental in my development since my 17 year old year. Hey have isolated my weaknesses and given me the plan to turn them into strengths so I can continue to excel in the NHL and improve my game.”
