About Vantage Hockey Group

Vantage Hockey Group was built around one idea: players need a clear, honest understanding of their game, where they can improve, and guidance to reach the next level.
What We Do
Every player is evaluated, analyzed, developed, and advanced through a clear process built for serious hockey careers.
Assess current skills, habits, and game tape to establish a clear baseline.
Helping Players get to the next level by connecting them with AAA, Junior, and NCAA programs.
Individual development focused on the specific areas of a player’s game with the greatest impact.
One-on-one game film breakdowns identifying habits, patterns, and areas for improvement.
Build the habits, skills, physical preparation, nutrition, and consistency to compete at a higher level.
Understand what to improve and how to position yourself for opportunity at the next level, including the NCAA pathway.
Our players develop NCAA, Jr. A, and pro habits through our system, and our clients days are structured the same way an NCAA player's day is structured. The result: faster skating and acceleration, increased confidence with and without the puck, and better decision making during games. Our clients are ready for when their time comes to be recruited — backed by a 6-month in-season workout plan plus a summer training plan.
Direct outreach to AAA, Junior, and NCAA programs through our contacts and connections. Strategic camp and combine selections. Clear understanding of NCAA deadlines and league draft rules. Guidance in selecting the right AAA / Junior / NCAA program for the player's development.
