ABOUT VHA

who we work with
You don't need to be a professional to train with professional intent. VHA works with committed athletes to develop a clear understanding of their game, identify areas for improvement, and build a purposeful plan to elevate their performance and earn their next opportunity.
Navigating the hockey pathway can be difficult. We help players and families make informed decisions and create opportunities at the AAA, Prep, Junior, NCAA, and professional levels.

What We Do
Exposure means nothing without the right development. At VHA we prioritize development just as much as exposure. Every player is evaluated, analyzed, developed, and advanced through a clear process built for serious hockey careers.
We provide free resources and guidance to help players and families navigate the complexities of hockey, make informed decisions, and plan for the future. We help families understand every step of the journey.
One-on-one film sessions that break down your game in detail, paired with off-ice development through personalized workout plans. Our job is to help you perform at your highest possible level so that when the opportunity comes, you're ready to make the most of it.
We connect players with the right people and opportunities to move their careers forward. Trusted by players and families, we provide the guidance, mentorship, and development support needed to reach the next level.

Our players develop NCAA, Jr. A, and pro habits through our system, and our clients days are structured the same way a professional player's day is structured. The result: our clients are ready for when their time comes to be recruited because sometimes players only get one shot. Backed by 1 on 1 film sessions, a personalized in-season workout plan, plus a summer training plan.
