PERSONALIZED TRAINING.
MEASURABLE RESULTS.
HOCKEY SKATING
At the heart of our methodology is skating technique. Our Skating Analysis utilizes artificial intelligence and a trainer's eye to break down your stride and identify exactly what needs improvement and measure your progress along the way. It's San Diego's only hockey skating analysis, right here at HDC.
SHOOTING
Shooting the puck effectively takes practice and guidance, using proper techniques and advanced tools. Our trainers will help you become the sniper goaltenders fear!
STICKHANDLING
Boost your stick handling skills by way of challenging drills, designed to teach you to dangle defenders and help you escape pressure.
GYM
Through partnering with Freemotion Fitness, the HDC San Diego hockey gym has everything you need to get strong in ways that directly impact performance on the ice. Our certified strength trainers will challenge players with age appropriate workouts based on fitness diagnostics that provide measurable results.
GOALTENDING
The most important position in the game requires specialized training, designed for modern goaltenders. Through use of carefully designed workouts, coordination training, and virtual reality, goaltenders can reach levels never thought possible with our training program (COMING SOON!).
OUR PHILOSOPHY
HDC San Diego hockey programs start and conclude with testing. That is because we adhere to the principle that training should be personalized, and measurable. The process includes building skills upon the foundation of a balanced and efficient stride. In development since 2008, the HDC methodology is proven and backed by sports science, and continues to change the way top players train.

TESTIMONIALS
"I would like to recommend HDC to anyone who wants to get better. They have great coaches here and a very energetic team. If you want to get better, just come here and train with them."
Pavol Regenda
San Diego Gulls/Anaheim Ducks Forward
"My teen and tween worked with the staff who immediately identified areas of strengths and weaknesses, pushed them to be the best skaters they could be, all while keeping it fun.”
Nichole J.
The Rinks Poway - Metro League
“We can't say enough good things about HDC and their coaching staff. In the short time our daughter has been working with them, we have seen tremendous growth in her skating abilities. Watching the video analysis from day one to now is like watching a different kid skating. Not only is her form improving on the ice, but her stride is becoming more efficient. Most importantly, we are seeing growth in her confidence on the ice."

San Diego Angels
"The treadmill sessions have made me a stronger more efficient skater. The result of my sessions is conservation of energy and a more powerful stride giving me the ability to finish third periods at peak performance."
Kaylee C.

“With a broken arm and tryouts coming up, being able to train and skate on the treadmill has been a great way for Owen to stay in shape and dial in the mechanics of his stride. The coaches and staff are amazing and make it easy to set up sessions that accommodate our hectic schedule.”
Brett S.
Anaheim Ice Dogs
"We have been very pleased with our experience with HDC and their great staff! Our son is learning new skills to make him a more efficient skater, but has also been to many mini camps and skills sessions. He enjoys these sessions, and the changes are seen on the ice as well. The staff are all very knowledgeable, and they are always helpful with all of our hockey, fitness, or equipment questions. But more so than the hockey skills, what we value most from HDC is the personal mentorship - our son is learning how to push himself and how to overcome challenges. These will be skills he will continue to utilize long after his hockey career is over.”
