High Performance Program - click here for more information
The High Performance (HP) Program is an in-season user pay skills program designed for U11 and U13 rep players who want to train, work hard, and take their game to the next level.
HP sessions are instructed by Derek Popke, Stan Sibert, Brandon Campos, Carter Popoff, and coaches with the Vancouver Hockey School. You can read the Vancouver Hockey School coaches bio’s at www.vancouverhockeyschool.com.
Players are placed in appropriate skill groups in order to maximize the teaching efficiency and learning experience of each individual player. Sessions do not conflict with T-Birds practice or home game slots.
