For over ten years, the RINK Player Development team has provided focused hockey skill and skating training for those taking their first strides to becoming professional hockey players. Our nationally recognized coaches provide players with the knowledge and skills to out-perform others on the ice; and now, alongside RINK Testify Performance, players continue to strengthen their game off the ice.
RINK Goalie Development, formerly known as GDI, has given goaltenders technical, physiological and psychological resources to better their game for over ten years. Our coaches provide goalies with training specific to their style, all while continuing to build goaltending fundamentals.
RINK Testify Performance began in 2015 solely as on-ice testing. Now, in addition to on-ice testing, it offers off-ice monitoring; sport specific, team and lifestyle training; and athletic therapy. The communication between on-ice coaches and off-ice trainers is what sets RINK Testify Performance apart and maximizes player performance on the ice.
Since debuting in 2015, RINK Hockey Academy has doubled in size and continues to be Manitoba’s premier hockey academy. Alongside the Pembina Trails school division and the CSSHL, RINK Hockey Academy strives to provide personal development on and off the ice, in the classroom, and the community. This year the midget prep, bantam prep and Elite 15’s will be joined by the first female team in the academy’s history.
In its inaugural season, RINK Hockey League was home to just under ten teams. The premier adult league operates out of RINK Training Centre which provides all players with services such as towel service, skate sharpening, athletic therapy and online stats. This fall, the RHL hopes to expand to 40 teams, all of which will play a guaranteed 32 games.
