Bryce Salvador, Jamal Mayers, Barret Jackman, Ray Barile and Jamie Kompon founded the Hockey Academy of St. Louis to impart the skills they have learned as professional hockey players, coaches and trainers on amateur hockey players of all ages and skill levels. These skills have been molded into a comprehensive off-ice and on-ice skills training program that teaches ALL the required hockey skills to players of all age levels, from mini-mites to NHL players.
While other training programs focus solely on improving a player’s skating or shot speed, the Hockey Academy of St. Louis focuses on a wide skill set that encompasses all aspects of hockey. This includes stick handling, shot speed, shooting accuracy and passing. Plus, the Hockey Academy of St. Louis helps improve alternative skills such as peripheral vision.
Through 90-minute training sessions, the Hockey Academy of St. Louis improves all aspects of a player’s hockey game. The Hockey Academy of St. Louis also provides teams, small groups and associations the opportunity to train together, building team camaraderie and paving the way to a stronger group.

The Hockey Academy of St. Louis’ off-ice development program gives your Association’s athletes an advantage through the proper development of fundamental hockey skills in an environment that is fun, challenging and affordable. Our off-ice sessions are broken down into stages:
Multi-tasking Area - Now with timed stick handling zone!
This stage works out an individual’s entire game, from skating speed to hand-to-eye coordination to peripheral vision and skating stride fundamentals.
Shooting Lanes - Now with Sniper Zone!
Working with state-of-the-art technology allows players to improve shot speed and shooting accuracy. This station also features our patent-pending Five-Hole Target on the Sniper Zone.
Quick Hands
This stage improves a player’s ability to handle a puck in certain game situations. More importantly, this stage improves players’ stick-handling abilities while teaching them to keep their head up, thus avoiding injuries and improving offensive creativity.
RapidShot®
Players improve their offensive abilities by working with a unique training system that feeds pucks to a player, and then measures the player’s ability to accept the pass and shoot it.
Slide Boards - Now with timed Complete Player Zone!
This innovative stage combines stick handling, skating and vision skills in one drill.
Speed Ramp
This unique training tool improves first-step skating quickness through a 5 degree inclined ramp that has a 90% glide factor to ice. Our ramp will not alter your skating stride!Goalie Program
The Hockey Academy of St. Louis recently installed a goalie-specific shooting lane to ensure total team training and improvement. Goalies now take shots in full-equipment on a 32-foot lane with synthetic ice.
This fall, The Hockey Academy of St. Louis will launch its much-anticipated On-Ice Development Program. Using The Hockey Academy of St. Louis’ patent-pending technology, area youth associations will undergo two in-depth development programs. These two programs will consist of identical standardized tests that occur at the beginning and end of the season.
The On-Ice Development Program consists of five tests:
| » |
20-foot forward sprint (timed with sensors) |
| » |
20-foot backwards sprint (timed with sensors) |
| » |
Top-end speed (timed with sensors and radar) |
| » |
Stick Handling Course (timed with sensors) |
| » |
Accuracy Shooting (timed with sensors) |
| » |
Hardest Shot (radar) |
| » |
Goaltending (each goalie takes 10 shots at the conclusion of Stick Handling Course) |
Scores from these tests will be collected on-site through The Hockey Academy of St. Louis’ swipe card technology and then uploaded to MyTotalHockey.com. Players will be able to view their individual scores, and coaches will be able to view a team’s aggregate data. This aggregate data will show coaches their teams’ strengths and weaknesses compared to other teams in the area. With this knowledge, The Hockey Academy of St. Louis will develop an instructional plan designed specifically for a team’s abilities.
The Hockey Academy of St. Louis’ On-Ice Development Program is a vital key to understanding your teams’ strengths and weaknesses. By using patent-pending technology, your teams will get an accurate and true measure of their abilities, not a subjective judgement. |
