GREATNESS STARTS HERE.
TRAINING FACILITIES
Success on the ice starts with the environment we build off it. The Lethbridge United 18U AAA program trains in professional-grade facilities designed to challenge, prepare, and develop every athlete — physically, mentally, and as part of a unified team culture. From the weight room to the classroom, every space reinforces our commitment to discipline, growth, and team identity.

ON-ICE DEVELOPMENT
Every training session reflects The U standard—consistent effort, purpose, and pride in every stride. We develop confident, complete players with training that translates directly to game-day performance in the JPHL.
- Game-Speed Execution: Drills mirror live game situations, emphasizing pace, precision, and decision-making under pressure.
- Skill Integration: Elite skating mechanics blend with advanced puck control to ensure awareness and purpose on every touch.
- High-Leverage Habits: Discipline and details form habits that win shifts, drive results, and define elite-level consistency.
“We don’t just train harder — we train smarter.”

ATHLETIC DEVELOPMENT
The U Athletic Development program transforms raw potential into measurable performance. Each session is engineered to build strength, balance, and endurance for sustained success.
- Explosive Power: Olympic-style lifts and functional movements develop the acceleration, agility, and strength demanded by high-speed play.
- Stability & Control: Core-driven training reinforces body control, allowing athletes to absorb contact and maintain balance through impact.
- Durability: Mobility, flexibility, and recovery circuits prevent injury and keep athletes performing at peak level year-round.

FILM & STRATEGY
Inside the Film & Strategy Room, hockey IQ meets preparation. Coaches and players dissect shifts, study opponents, and analyze systems that directly influence game-day execution.
- Film Breakdown: Game clips are reviewed to identify reads, support routes, and subtle details that shift momentum in our favor.
- Systems Play: Zone coverage, forecheck patterns, and transition timing are refined to keep The U one step ahead.
- Execution Focus: Tactical corrections move from video to ice, building precision through deliberate, game-speed repetition.
“How we recover determines how we perform.”

RECOVERY & PERFORMANCE
Recovery is part of the process. Inside the U Clubhouse, athletes restore strength, reduce fatigue, and prepare for the next challenge through professional-grade recovery systems and guided performance care.
- Accelerated Recovery: Sauna therapy and circulation work reduce fatigue, inflammation, and post-training soreness.
- Injury Prevention: Targeted mobility sessions improve range of motion and limit overuse stress before it becomes injury.
- Performance Care: Individualized recovery programs monitor output and ensure each athlete returns stronger than before.
