Sport Specific Hockey Training in Montreal
Every weakness is measurable. We find it, then turn it into a strength.
At ALT Training, every program is built around you — your gaps, your goals, your season. Our 1-on-1 training are engineered to expose every weakness and turn you into a weapon before you step back on the ice.
Here's what that looks like in practice:
-
Skate faster, with purpose. We break down your movement mechanics at the source and rebuild them from the ground up — so every stride you take translates directly into speed and efficiency on the ice.
-
Become a nightmare to play against. We develop the foundational strength and lower center of gravity that makes you impossible to move off the puck — and dangerous every time you have it.

ALT ATHLETE PHASE TIMELINE
Performance Preservation 1 Phase
In-Season Phase 1 is our maintenance program, running September through December, built for competitive hockey athletes U7–U17 — LHEQ and RSEQ — whose families know that what happens off the ice determines what's possible on it. Every athlete starts with the 20-Minute Player Assessment ($20): 3 performance tests, real data, a clear picture of exactly where your athlete is losing speed, power, and conditioning. From there, the program is built around their specific gaps and their season schedule. Athletes train once or twice per week, targeting the exact weaknesses the assessment uncovered, so gains build steadily through the block and peak when it matters most — at playoffs.
Performance Preservation 2 Phase
In-Season Phase 2 is our mid-season continuation program, running January through March, built for athletes who trained through the fall or are joining partway through the season. This isn't a restart — it's a reevaluation. Every athlete begins with a reassessment (or an initial 20-Minute Player Assessment if joining now), giving us a targeted read on what the first half of the season actually revealed, not what we assumed in September. The fall work becomes the foundation; this block sharpens what improved and addresses what still needs work. Athletes train once or twice per week, holding the same schedule discipline that carried them through the first half — with one goal: Peak physical readiness at playoffs, not just survival through March.
General Physical Prep Phase
Post-Season is our corrective rebuilding program, running through the month of May, built for competitive hockey athletes U7–U17 whose season just ended. This is not rest — it's structured repair, and it's the block most athletes skip at the cost of next season. Every athlete comes out of a hockey season carrying the same physical debt: hip flexors shortened, posterior chain lengthened, posture pulled forward from months in the skating position. The assessment at the start of Post-Season maps exactly what the season did — which muscles shut down, which took over, and what needs to be reset before we build anything new. From there, the work is active correction: restoring muscle length, rebuilding posterior chain function, and returning the body to a position where off-season training can actually land. Athletes train once or twice per week through April and May. Skip this phase, and the off-season gains that follow look good short-term but won't hold once next season starts.
High Performance Phase
Off-Season Phase 1 is our foundational development block, running June through July, built for competitive hockey athletes U7–U17 who want to show up to September as a different athlete than the one who left the ice in the spring. Every athlete starts with the 20-Minute Player Assessment ($20) — 3 structured performance tests, a complete physical profile across speed, power, strength, and conditioning. With no season schedule to work around, the programming is unconstrained: we build speed, power, and strength from the ground up — the foundational qualities in-season training can only maintain. Athletes train two to three times per week.
Power / Metabolic Phase
Off-Season Phase 2 shifts the focus, running through August, built for athletes who've completed Phase 1 and are heading into pre-season. Where Phase 1 built the foundation. Phase 2 sharpens it: training shifts toward raw power output, keeping explosiveness high through higher-rep power work, while building the metabolic capacity to sustain that power deeper into shifts and games. The goal is an athlete who's not just strong, but efficient — able to produce force repeatedly without the drop-off that shows up in the third period. Athletes train two to three times per week through the final month before the season starts.
