Who we are
Turbo Hockey was born from a simple observation: minor hockey coaches aren't short on good will — they're short on structure. We pooled our experience to give them the structure that was missing.
The vision
For years, we taught hockey backwards: isolated skills, repeated in line, without ever explaining what they're for in a real game situation.
The result? Beautiful skaters who become invisible the moment the play starts moving. Kids who wait for instructions from the bench instead of reading what's happening in front of them. And coaches discouraged that they're not seeing the progress they hoped for.
Turbo Hockey does the opposite. We start from the full game, break it down into a language the athlete understands — 1 sport, 2 games, 3 situations, 4 roles — and build practices where they have to read, decide and execute. The game becomes the teacher again. The coach becomes the resource person who plans and manages the learning.
"The game is the best teacher."

What we believe
Before we even talk about drills, there are four things a coach has to own: real fun, planning, leadership and skill. Everything else builds on that — and that's what happens in the Turbo Coach zone.
The collaborators
A former pro player turned trainer, a skills development specialist, and a minor hockey coach who equips French-speaking coaches.
Creator of the method
Author of the Hockey Sense talks, the source of the entire Turbo Hockey structure: the 3 situations, the 4 roles and the player's toolbox. A trainer of coaches, he stands behind one simple idea — without understanding the game, there are no good decisions.
Skills development
A specialist in individual skills development and carrying those skills over into real gameplay. He turns big-picture principles into concrete drills, suited to the level and the ice time a coach actually has.
Creator of Le Concepteur
Creator of Le Concepteur, the tool that lets a coach build drills and practice plans straight from Turbo Hockey principles. A minor hockey coach and founder of Loz Hockey, he designs tools built for coaches' real world.
On the ice
How long each phase takes varies a lot depending on level and calibre. Sometimes you need to be very patient — and that's okay.
We lay out the big picture and the goals. Just the basics, no details.
We put the athletes through repetition and check in with them on what they've picked up.
We get into the details. We check what's been learned, adjust, and break it down further as needed.
The small details. The athletes become more and more independent on the ice.
Let's work together
We travel to train groups of coaches. Tell us what your organization is going through — we'll get back to you with a concrete proposal.
