Power Edge Pro · Reactive Countering Training™
Performance Proven. The Training System
That Separates Good from Great.

Reactive Countering Training (R.C.T.) focuses on the often-overlooked but crucial ability to fire multiple motor skills simultaneously — a key element for mastering the high-speed, inside-game skills essential in today's hockey.

R.C.T. unlocks each player's full potential through a performance-proven training methodology that mirrors the demands of today's game. It builds the nuanced inside game that separates players at every level.

What You'll Work On

Every session is designed to push players beyond their comfort zone in the areas that matter most.

1
Skating Speed, edges, agility, crossovers, and transitions. Your feet drive everything.
2
Puck Skills Stickhandling under pressure, deception, and confidence with the puck in traffic.

5
Hockey IQ Reads, positioning, anticipation, and decision-making through small-area games.
