  • How does your video coaching program work?
    We conduct live video coaching sessions which are held over Zoom. On the call, we will review your own game footage with you. We prepare and look over the video ahead of time. Then we screen share it with you and give you real-time, direct personalized coaching.
  • Do you offer mentorship beyond video coaching?
    Yes! We provide mentorship and general guidance to help younger players find their own "Hockey Path." Our coaches share their experiences as players who have progressed to the NCAA and pro hockey levels.
  • What ages are the players that you video coach?
    We video coach players all the way from 10U up to junior hockey players. Typically the players who do best in our video coaching program are those who are hard working, driven and really enjoy the game.
  • What happens during a video coaching session?
    Our video coaching sessions are held over Zoom and last approximately 45 minutes. During the call, we screen share the pre-clipped video and discuss key points. We provide guidance on plays and help talk through situations to better equip your player to improve their performance.
  • Why is video analysis helpful?
    Video analysis is constantly used at the junior, college and pro level. It is a way to study the game and improve your tactics and hockey sense. We are spreading video analysis to youth players so that they can benefit in the same way.
  • How frequently should I book video coaching sessions?
    The frequency of video coaching sessions depends on your personal preference, time commitment, budget, and goals. We recommend scheduling at least a few sessions over the course of a season to monitor progress and introduce new concepts. Regular video reviews help you pick up on concepts faster, implement changes sooner, and develop your hockey IQ more effectively. If interested in a package, you can book via the link below.
  • What video sources do you accept for analysis?
    We accept various video sources including LiveBarn, BlackBear TV, Hudl, YouTube, FloHockey, and more. Once we have the raw footage, we will edit it to include just your shifts from the selected game.
  • Do I have to edit or upload the video myself?
    No, you don't. We will handle all of the editing of the video footage. All you have to do is tell us the game details & how to access, or provide the relevant link to the video stream.
  • How much footage do you review in one video session?
    Typically, we find it best to use one game of footage per video session. A player usually plays between 10-15 minutes per game. This give us plenty of footage to review and talk through. In a typical session, we spend approximately ~15 minutes watching the footage, ~20 minutes talking over it and another ~10 minutes introducing and summarizing key points.
  • When should I schedule my first video session?
    Typically, our coaches are most available during weeknights. Many of them still play or coach at a high level, so they will be busy with games most Fridays and Saturday. When you sign up for a session or package, we will put you in touch with your coach and they can confirm scheduling which works for them.
  • Who are your coaches?
    We have a team of coaches who are primarily current college & pro hockey players. They all specialize in conducting video review over Zoom and are great mentors for younger players. You can check out our coaches page through the link at the top of the page.
  • How do you select your video coaches?
    Our video coaches are former & current NCAA and pro hockey players. They are organized and responsible young individuals who have an excellent understanding of hockey. We look to find people who are excellent role models for the young hockey players we video coach. All of our coaches have been closely vetted and qualified for their role with The Hockey Path.
  • How do I choose the right coach for me?
    To find the best coach for you, we recommend scheduling an intro call so we can pair you with an ideal coach. Alternatively, you can schedule a session with "The Hockey Path" as the selected coach, and we will match you with someone based on availability.
