At the U18 level, development is about refining your game and preparing to perform at a higher pace, with greater physicality and less time and space.

Vigier Hockey’s Spring U18 Development Program is designed for players who want to sharpen the details that separate good players from effective, reliable players at the next level. Training will focus on executing skills at speed, improving hockey sense, increasing positional awareness and developing the ability to make strong decisions under pressure.

Players will be challenged through high-tempo drills, competitive situations and small-area games that demand quick reads, strong puck management and consistent execution. The emphasis is not simply on performing a skill, but on knowing **when, where and how to use it effectively in a game.

Training Focus
– Explosive skating and efficient movement
– Puck control and passing at game speed
– Shooting, release speed and scoring under pressure
– Puck protection and play along the walls
– Creating and attacking open ice
– Quick decision-making with limited time and space
– Offensive and defensive positional awareness
– Transition play and support away from the puck
– Compete level, physical engagement and battle situations
– Game management and situational awareness

The U18 program is built to help players become more complete, dependable and adaptable hockey players — capable of handling the increased speed, physicality and tactical demands of higher-level hockey.

Whether the next step is junior hockey, college, U18 AAA or another competitive environment, the goal is to help players prepare for the expectations that come with that opportunity.
