What we do
Over the past several years hockey in Roanoke has enjoyed increases in both memberships and success which has resulted in a demand for better, consistent training.
At Virginia Hockey Lab we have a passion for all-things hockey! We offer a wide range of training programs for all ages and skill levels. Our goal is to bring affordable, professional-grade, training to the Roanoke Valley hockey community. We believe that team sports, and hockey in particular, is the best place for youths to learn essential social skills that will serve them far beyond the hockey rink.
As we train physically on and off the ice, we also hope to play a part in developing good, well-rounded, youths that are prepared to face challenges in the arena and beyond. At Virginia Hockey Lab we believe that developing good habits and a strong work ethic will open doors in hockey, school, and life.
We are committed to continually invest back into the hockey community by bringing the newest and most cutting-edge training systems and technologies.
Training
Team Program
Our partnership with the Valley Youth Hockey Association (VYHA) is at the heart of our programming as we train their “A” teams from 12U and up on a consistent, weekly basis. This program consists of the entire team participating in a weekly 60–75-minute session. Typically the session will consist of half dryland training and half synthetic ice training, but this split can vary throughout the season as we focus on different areas of development.
This program is available to other teams outside of the VYHA “A” teams. Our coaches will talk to team coaches and parents in August to determine interest from teams that are not already under contract.
Private and Group Training
Our training stretches far beyond the VYHA team programs with opportunities in small group and private training.
Our small group and private training to completely customizable to achieve your goals. By offering on-ice, synthetic ice, and dryland training, we have everything you need to get your game to the next level.
