Lino Lakes, Minnesota
Specialized skill development for serious hockey players — laser-focused on skating, stickhandling, and shooting. Small groups, private-caliber coaching, and the kind of deliberate reps that actually move the needle. The specialized training the best players now do.
Our flagship programs — Summer Pods and Fall Camp — are laser-focused on the three fundamentals that separate players: skating, stickhandling, and shooting. Think of it as three private lessons in one. The best players today aren't just doing general hockey; they're doing specialized, skill-specific training. Most of our athletes pair BTP with their team or league program — we're the specialized layer that makes their fundamentals elite.
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.
Skating, stickhandling, shooting — coached like three separate private lessons, combined into one. Specialized work at $25–30/hour that runs $200–300 privately. The best value in specialized training, anywhere.
