Development Philosophy
At Prodigy, we create an environment for dedicated hockey players to discover their true potential on and off the ice. Our curriculum molds players to be adaptable, intelligent, skilled, and most importantly, people of high character. We use a blend of on ice development, sports psychology, video, and quantitative analysis to track the acquisition of the attributes needed to have success at the highest levels. All of our programming is based on the latest research in skill acquisition and sports science. We’re trusted by the NHL’s brightest stars, all the way to beginners.
