ELITE PROGRAM
ABOUT
The Xtreme Edges Elite Program has been purposefully designed to cater to athletes at club level and above.
By implementing a two-tiered structure, we ensure that all players, whether emerging talents or established competitors, have access to high-quality coaching, appropriate challenge, and opportunities for growth.
“It’s important that our programs are inclusive. Regardless of where you are at in your hockey journey, you should have an opportunity to develop. Structuring our Elite program into two separate tiers will give players that opportunity to do that.”
This structure enables a seamless progression system—one that recognises potential, rewards effort, and ensures no athlete is left behind. “Club-level athletes will have the opportunity to be pushed, just as much as more advanced athletes from the likes of the EIH ‘Power Of’ Programs and other selection programs.”
TIER 1
Tier 1 empowers advanced players who demonstrate exceptional commitment, skill, and ambition. this tier supports athletes on the ‘Power Of’ and international pathways, preparing them for representative opportunities, high-performance programs, and future elite selections.
Program Focus
-
Advanced technical skill development
-
Tactical understanding and systems execution
-
Strength, conditioning, and speed programs
-
Performance reviews
-
High-intensity competitive training sessions
TIER 2
Tier 2 provides a structured environment for athletes who are building strong fundamentals and seeking long-term progression. Focusing on developing confidence, competency, and consistency to help players advance toward higher levels of performance.
Program Focus
-
Core skill acquisition (passing, shooting, puck control)
-
Positional awareness and basic game concepts
-
Fitness and athletic movement foundations
-
Small-sided games and decision-making drills

Fun, supportive, and growth-oriented coaching
THE RESULT
A dynamic, competitive, and supportive development ecosystem where:
Elite athletes are challenged to reach even greater heights
