Lino Lakes, Minnesota
Year-round hockey development on the ice and in our training facility. Small groups, elite coaching, and real skill progression for every athlete — from first strides to advanced competitive play.
Real development takes quality coaching and the right number of players. That is the idea behind BTP: small groups, high standards, and a place where every athlete is seen, coached, and pushed. Not a crowded skate where kids blend in — a proving ground where they get better.
Four reasons the north country trains with us.
Small by design. We cap every group so no one blends into the crowd — elite-level attention at a price that will not freeze you out. Quality over quantity, always.
The latest techniques, the proven progressions — the same methods sharpening today's top players, brought to the north woods and applied at every level.
Shooting simulators, synthetic-ice skating trainers, and video analysis — cutting-edge tools that turn long winter reps into real, measurable growth.
On-ice, off-ice, strength, and leadership — the whole player. We build skills, bodies, and character together, forging athletes who last.
From the first thaw to the deep freeze, there is always a next step. Sign up for any program through the Member Portal.
